In Living Color: Entrance, Sleepy Sun, Slang Chicken

Back in the summer of 2009, I made the long and unknowingly silent journey out into the Pasadena Hills where the city of Eagle Rock is so elegantly nestled. As I entered what appeared to be a renovated church, I discovered what I was once afraid to find: the self. The sounds that reverberated between the walls of that holy space and into my mind were unlike anything I had ever experienced in my previous life. This story can only be retold through the collection of photographs that isolate precious moments of the evening.

Sleepy Sun - Desert God @ Spaceland, Los Angeles (7.23.2010)

Sleepy Sun is one of the premiere psychedelic bands of today. Their unique blues-injected sound is free-form, effortless, and exists in a space beyond the past, present, and future. It breathes all its own. The Santa Cruz, CA natives, who now root themselves in the San Francisco bay area, played Silverlake's Spaceland at the end of July. This video footage taken from the show captures the raw energy and essence that defines Sleepy Sun.
