We've had a nice and relaxing Christmas day, which has been quite welcomed, given what a crazy whirlwind of a December we've had. Opening of presents in the morning, chatting with those back home, and then chilling on the couch watching the Replacements documentary that Katie had gotten for her birthday, which we've not had time to watch. Damn good too.

After watching Color Me Obsessed, we were out the door for some rock n' roll with Los Guys, The Persuaders and The Pistoleros. Yes, a Zubia rock n' roll trifecta on Christmas night. Seeing the Pistoleros on Christmas is a bit of a tradition, and a nice one at that.

Although we had planned to do Las Noches De Las Luminarias after Christmas, the discounted tickets that came up today was too good to resist. Despite looking forward to having a bit of a break after work this week, I was kind of glad to get to do it before Christmas.

Thankfully it wasn't too cold tonight, the rain held off and I was able to get some really good photos even without a tripod.

Another fun Rock For Tots this year, with a great lineup.

Hearing Hey Jealousy early in the night, performed for the second time this week was pretty cool.

One of the highlights of the night were Zero Zero. Tonight was the first time we've seen them live, and I was sold pretty quickly. Which wasn't really the much of a surprise to me. Michael Johnny Walker is the eptome of cool.

Much like last year, The Black Moods proved why they were the headlining band, with a blistering and long set. It was actually actually reminiscent of the days of old, what with Josh losing his shirt somewhere along the way, and the lengthy encore.

I really indulged the photographer in me during their set, snapping about 649 shots of the guys. Parring that down to a reasonable number was no mean feat, but produced a couple of really cool shots. And after 3 years of trying, I almost nailed a Josh Kennedy airtime photo. Almost. I guess I'll have to keep trying for that.

First Friday with The Persuaders @ Revolver Records. This was a really cool gig. At one point I was staring past Lawrence at the Revolver sign, and it hit me how much this seemed like a scene from Empire Records.

14 Years Ago In Tempe

With my long overdue introduction to the mysterious Pixy Stix over the weekend, combined with the time of the year, as well as some other general music nostalgia of late, I was prompted to dig out my "14 Years Ago In Tempe" cassette.

Listening to that stuff, it dawned on me that I got this cassette 16 years ago - I've had it longer than the length of time the material existed when it was given to me. That definitely blows my mind.
