Tropicali.

It's really unfair that The No Age/High Places/Abe Vigoda tour is coming NO WHERE NEAR THE WESTERN STATES this summer. WTF is that about? I'm so hurt.




On a trip to LA a few weeks ago, Sarah snapped some great photos of Abe Vigoda, and Juan and the dudes we SO NICE! Cali attitudes are hella contagious. We also (via my myspace stalking and bugging) got to meet and shoot Rob Zabrecky, a talented Magician, Actor, Musician and member of The Unholy Three...and former member of one of my Top 5 Favorite/(Most Influential to Me) Bands of All Time, Possum Dixon.

We also took some fabulous photos of our dear friend and room and boarder in LA, the very talented designer, model, photographer, and positive vibe dispenser, Allister. And finally, the band that brought us to the City of Angels in the first place, Gliss. They were very cute, and very 90s (in the good way) reminding me of some of my favorite bands of the past like Lush, Smashing Pumpkins, and newer stuff like The Ravonettes and NYC deathly surf rockers, The Vandelles (another band Cass shot on the roof top of the Domino Sugar Factory offices a.k.a Death By Audio, last fall.) All of these photos will be available for viewing at Sarahcass.com in the up-coming months!


Basically, Los Angeles ruled. I think I may just end up there in a few years. Below is a mix of some of the bands I mentioned above, a long with a few other songs I thought fit the tropical summer vibe...my own little band, Hot Tropics, is on there too, be it a rough(my apologies) version of one of our songs. HT is a collaboration between me and my good friend Joel (aka Warm Ghosts, sick visual artist extraordinaire!) Enjoy, please, please!
