THE ACT: Gateway Drugs | Facebook Twitter Website

SOUNDS LIKE:

THOUGHTS:  Gateway Drugs pulled double duty on the last day of Echo Park Rising, playing an earlier gig in the Echo before taking the stage at the Echoplex. There a great story about the inspiration of the  song I posted above that you can read HERE. A psychedelic rock band with an apparently loyal local following (the room was packed), their performance reminded me of when I saw the Dandy Warhols earlier this year, only with a lot more energy. They were the last band I caught at this year’s Echo Park Rising, and it was a solid way to end the weekend of music.

Echo Park Rising | August 15-17th, 2014 | Homepage

There’s nothing I love more than free music. Now in it’s fourth year, Echo Park plays host Echo Park Rising; a three-day music festival showcasing the talents of local bands. With over 300 acts on the bill, I had to pick and choose the acts I wanted to see perform live. I think I chose … wisely.

Below are lists of acts that I was cable to catch. It’ll take me some time, but I’ll be posting photos and some brief thoughts. Keep checking back here to check out my posts!
