As many of you know The Sounds are one of my favorite bands out of Sweden. At least once a year this band makes a stop off in L.A. which now seems to be a traditional thing for them. Well, this past Thursday they hit the newly renovated Hollywood Palladium to play for a packed house of adoring D-BAGS or FANS you could call em. I say this cuz every single time I attend their show, it's like people don't know how to act. I mean, I know it's a show and it's exciting and you jump around, etc... I just happen to ALWAYS be standing next to some freak shows that must bump me or try and mosh or kiss their significant other like some annoying teenage kids. I mean seriously, must your drunk ass stumble upon me like I'm some freaking bar stool. Anyhoo...it's The Sounds! I'm totally not going to let this put a damper on my night.
I finally decided to move off to the side to get as far away from the screaming kids as I could. At that point, I met the kindest person ever, who just so happened to be a photographer taking photos for OUT MAGAZINE. Normally, I have my photographer, Cory with me at all shows, but he was out of town this night. I know I needed photos, cuz Cory was gone and I didn't bring my crappy point & shoot, so I asked Megan (the Photographer) if she was willing to let me use some of her photos from the night. Thanks to her I was able to get some really great photos of the night! Also, that night I finally was able to meet Anne from Big Hassle. Big Hassle is the company that does PR for many many amazing bands, including The Sounds. She was the sweetest thing ever...it was finally nice to put a face with the name.
All in all it was a fantastic night! An even extra special night, because the band gave us a sample of what's to come from their upcoming record. Let me just say that we are in for a treat! If you missed this show, not to worry...the band announced they will be back in 2009!
Again, thanks to Megan Westerby for the amazing photos, and a big shout out to Anne from Big Hassle! Also, big ups to The Sounds for a FN AWESOME show!
