Echo Park Rising 2015 In A Few Pictures
Things got weird with Man or Astro-Man?, tender with Dengue Fever and wilder with Hanni El Khatib. Birth Defects put the stage on fire, Three Common invited everyone to join them on stage, and Corners’ set was a crowd surfing party… I wanted the festival to last at least a week, I was just getting in the rhythm after these three days! See you next year…

They probably plan their shows as an aerobic session, watching the six of them who couldn’t stay a second at the same place. It was particular true for frontman Sam Martin (or may be there is no real frontman in this band), who was the most agitated one, jumping around like a jack-in-the-box.
Manhattan Murder Mystery At Echo Park Rising, Saturday August 25th 2012
Every Manhattan Murder Mystery show I have attended has been some epic episode of chaos, with poignant melodies buried in loudness. The songs are brutal and surge at you while grasping you by the guts, the music is loud and fuzzy, the lyrics shouted with rage and anguish, and soon everyone is intensely into it
Fool's Gold At Echo Park Rising, Saturday August 25th 2012
Fool’s Gold is much more than a Graceland cover band even though the comparison with the likes of Vampire Weekend will undoubtedly cross your mind. It was different, it was Vampire Weekend without the hipster factor and fashionable filter
