I spoke with LA photographer Zugunruhe, aka Adam Ziegenhals, about shooting in the LA punk scene, wild shows under the overpasses and dancing around bonfires. Be sure to follow his work on IG: @zugunruhe and a big thank you to dba256 for the hospitality!

The Lil' Smokies at Lodge Room, Highland Park CA
The Lil Smokies, a Montana-based all strings band hit Highland Park’s Lodge Room on Feb 1st and played to ears wide open. On tour for their third full length, Tornillo, which channeled hard influence of classic 70’s songwriting, the band were welcomed by an all too eager LA crowd who danced in country-like fashion while an incessant discordant stomping punctuated the night.
Check out some photos I caught below and be sure to grab a copy of Tornillo, out now!

Just in time for the Christmas-New Year squish, I hung out with fellow music photographer Sade de la Espriella (@sade.img). We talked some shop, music and people with camera phones at shows.
