Knife Party’s sold-out show at The Wiltern was easily the best gig I’ve played so far in 2012 — granted, it’s only February, but the size of the show and the lineup of quality talent made it one to remember. I was honored to perform alongside Codes, Kill The Noise and Knife Party and luckily there were some photographers on hand to document the occasion.

My friend Thai brought his camera out to SMOG Sundays a couple weekends ago when the Deceast crew handled musical duties for the evening. I really like his photos, especially his lack of relying on flash photography. In my opinion, the whole flash thing has become a problem in nightlife photography and I applaud photographers who know how to shoot in low-light conditions. I think flash-free photos capture the vibe of the event better and go a long way to avoiding the generic look of most galleries you see filled with nightclub pictures.

Bassrush kicked off the return of Funktion Wednesdays last week with a sold-out Rusko show at The Music Box and plenty of photographers were on-hand to document the premier. Highlight photos and links to the galleries are below.

An unfortunate side note is that it looks like this could be the last show at The Music Box for a while. As reported by LAist and LA Weekly, the Los Angeles music community was caught off guard by the surprise closing of the venue last week, leaving Funktion Wednesdays without a venue. No alternate venue has been announced yet, although I’ve heard that Bassrush will actually be splitting the upcoming Wednesday events between Avalon and Dim Mak Studios until a new, permanent location can be secured.

Oh Dag Yo was on hand this past Saturday to photograph the Bassrush + Deceast presents 12th Planet and Friends event at The Music Box in Hollywood. There’s plenty of photos to browse through, so click the image above or here to see the full gallery.
