Bad Suns at the Belasco in Los Angeles
Los Angeles’ own BAD SUNS took their Accelerator Tour and finished up with a sold out performance at The Belasco Theater in Downtown Los Angeles this past Friday 10/17. Bad Suns have come along way into their own, creating and crafting their formative years from the Cobalt Cafe to the Roxy and beyond throughout the world to showcase their brand of infectious pop infused rock.
Opening up the show was Jersey boy done good JOE P. Joe’s fantastic singer songwriter harkens back to early Springsteen, showcase Americana rock with indie feel good sounds to create and craft a sound all his own. Joe P has been making a name for himself throughout the Eastern United States, and this was a great way to introduce his brand of rock to a growing fanbase here in LA. Check out Joe P on his debut EP “Emily Can’t Sing”, on all inter webs everywhere.
BAD SUNS took the stage to an already hyped up crowd that kicked into overdrive the moment the sounds of “Slow Karma” of the album of the same tour name, Accelerator. The band as a three piece is incredibly polished, with Christo Bowman showing his vocal chops, while Gavin Bennett held a solid low end and Miles Morris absolutely shines behind the drum kit, finding wonderful ways to bring the drums to the forefront without overtaking the shine off the rest of the band. The band launches into “We Move Like The Ocean,” off of “Language & Perspective,” and “Life Was Easier When I Only Cared About Me.”
The band has an incredible work ethic, and even since their inception as Bad Suns in 2012, have not slowed up one bit. Make sure to check them out on your favorite streaming site, and check them out live when the band returns to Europe in 2026.

Big Boi, Dot Da Genius, Chip Tha Ripper on Kid Cudi’s ‘The Rebel Ragers Tour
Before Kid Cudi took the stage at Rogers Arena on June 19, fans were treated to a stacked lineup of hip-hop veterans and collaborators that set the tone for an energetic night. Big Boi, Dot Da Genius, and Chip Tha Ripper each brought their own style, making the opening portion of The Rebel Ragers Tour feel like an event of its own.
Chip Tha Ripper kicked things off with an easygoing confidence that quickly won over the audience. His chemistry with the crowd and longtime connection to Kid Cudi made his set feel like a natural extension of the night’s theme rather than just an opening performance.
Dot Da Genius followed with a polished set that highlighted his production work and solo material. His atmospheric sound filled Rogers Arena, offering a change of pace that fit naturally within the lineup. Longtime Kid Cudi fans clearly appreciated seeing one of his closest collaborators perform live.
Big Boi closed out the opening acts in commanding fashion. The OutKast legend delivered a confident set packed with charisma and Southern hip-hop classics. His decades of experience showed through every performance, with fans rapping along and dancing from start to finish.
Together, the trio provided an entertaining build-up that had the arena fully energized and ready for Kid Cudi‘s highly anticipated headlining performance.

Alestorm Turns Commodore Ballroom Into One Giant Pirate Party
Last night, I had the chance to photograph Alestorm at the Commodore Ballroom, and honestly, it was one of the most fun shows I’ve shot in a long time.
From the second the band hit the stage, the energy in the room was unreal. The crowd was singing every word, throwing their hands in the air, and fully embracing the pirate-themed chaos that Alestorm is known for. It felt like one massive party where everyone was in on the same joke.
As a photographer, this show was packed with great moments. Between the colourful lighting, the band’s larger-than-life stage presence, and the nonstop crowd interaction, there was always something happening. Every time I thought I had captured my favourite shot of the night, another moment would unfold right in front of me.
One thing that really stood out was how connected the band was with the audience. You could tell the fans weren’t just there to watch. They were there to be part of the experience. Looking around the room and seeing hundreds of people singing together made it clear why Alestorm has built such a loyal following over the years.
My favourite photos ended up being the ones that captured that connection. The laughter, the singalongs, the raised hands, and the pure excitement on people’s faces told the story of the night better than any stage setup ever could.
Alestorm brought the music, the fun, and the chaos in the best possible way. If you ever get the chance to see them live, be ready for a night that’s equal parts concert and pirate adventure.
