Quote from Spaceland Presents: After 2 years as an underground DIY event, Los Angeles band Liily are bringing the 2019 version of their festival Brekfest to the Echo LA every Tuesday of January starting the 8th. Hosted by their LA based indie label Flush Records and Spaceland Presents, this new iteration of Brekfest will feature an absolutely over the top lineup with secret headliners each night including the best and most original artists from a burgeoning Los Angeles underground. All killer and no filler. Liily plays their own set each night and carefully curates each event to be unique.

The show was presented to you by Five Eyes; a fresh alternative collective to the LA scene. Jurors played in the dark with their light-box shining behind them, which provided an intimate and energetic feel. Other bands on the lineup that evening consisted of Killjoi, Storm Coast & Lovers Motel.

    For a show on a Thursday night, DBA 256 in Pomona, California was still very much packed. Left Without was one of the bands performing and even though the members of the band have different musical influences, you may not be able to tell based on their sound.
    The post hardcore quartet brought their melodic tunes to DBA 256 at the beginning of the year and had the crowd bopping their heads with positive feedback to follow.
    At first listen, you could say that they're a band recommended for fans of Thursday and early Brand New. Even though the band only has a demo out at the moment, they are currently in the middle of recording new tunes!
    Left Without is starting the year strong as they are getting some shows lined up. The next show you can catch them at is Lot 1 Cafe in Echo Park on Saturday, February 16th.

To keep up with them, you can find them on Facebook (@leftwithout) or Instagram (@leftwithoutband).

"I took these photos of artist Alma Lake as she performed an intimate show at a hip rooftop bar in Hollywood overlooking LA. Her music drifted over the relaxed audience; she was soulful with attention in every note she sang. Her music was a celebration. Alma Lake was a shining light that night celebrating with her closest friends and fans celebrating her recent success of being broadcast on popular television show, The Four. "

A little about Scott Free: A fan of punk rock rock and DIY music. I also like shooting drag queens, kings, and other artists. I only like shooting mostly small DIY and punk venues in LA and surrounding So Cal. I go out a lot, 4 nights a week. I am always looking for new bands to see, new places to hang out and to meet artists. I also work as a wardrobe stylist in the music business - styling bands and working on music videos.
