CAPYAC (foreground). Photo by Hernan Sanchez. Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. The Viaduct is one of the oldest thoroughfares in the city, with a long history, especially relative to LA’s short memory. It is practically a living venue, constantly changing moods as the sun sets and as the energy of the crowd grows. The Metro zipped by throughout the night, which was just another indication … Continue reading First Annual Future Sounds Festival Celebrates Soul at the Historic Baker Street Viaduct
Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. If circumstances persist for Cecilia Della Peruti, her sophomore album as Gothic Tropic is bound to be just as impactful as the band’s debut, Fast or Feast. The past two years since that LP have led the LA-born artist to career highs and personal lows, but her new single is meant to help her heal and celebrate where her life … Continue reading Gothic Tropic Celebrates Music and Life With New Single “Drunk on a Rhythm”
