My Chemical Romance at Le Trabendo in Paris (6/5/2005)

2005. I was 13 and lived right outside of Paris. I could to go a handful of concerts a year and would always bring a disposable camera with me. My Chemical Romance were playing their first headlining show in France a year…

As Turnstile is currently playing arenas around the world with Blink-182, it is crazy to think it was possible to see them for $5 back in 2016. Doors were at midnight for this after show at the now defunct venue Aviv in…

February 2020. Leap year. It felt really cool that a show was happening on the 29th, and that the 29th was falling on a Saturday. I really got into Boy Harsher a year earlier when they released Careful. It may be the…

Shame at 新代田fever in Tokyo (11/8/2018)

I like to travel with no plan in mind. The way I think about it is: what would I do if I lived there? I book a place in a neighborhood that sounds interesting and go on with my day. And as…
