On Oct 3, a fantastic gathering occurred within a cafe-sized room canopied by trees. The Gypsy Camp is a long-visited place within El Escorpion Park in West Hills - long overdue to be utilized as a unique venue for live music.
It was the beginning of a new series of acoustic shows that bring bands out of bars and clubs, friends and musical enthusiasts out of the house on a saturday afternoon, and a unique and magical experience to everyone involved.
If this looks like a good time to you, please tell people about it, and join us for Gypsy Camp The Second on Saturday, Nov. 14. Prepare yourself with a cooler and blanket and an afternoon to enjoy some great music.
NEW SONG & NEW VIDEO UP NOW!!!!!!! Check it out on our myspace page!!!!!!!! ...Last shows were with Kylesa, Torch,Coalesce,Darkest Hour and the Dillinger Escape Plan! You can find our Ep and shirts on sale in our merch store!
the south is not the south as you know it. this south is racist and kind of boring. this south is just me walking around in open fields singing patsy cline songs to myself. but i've been writing a lot of music in that boredom. :) which is good. you back in la now?
