That’s a photo of Michael Davis (of Michael Davis With Lions), above. We share that because his album-release show on Wednesday night at the Echo will be our first outing of 2013. And because he was part of Buzz Bands LA’s 2012 as well.
This blog posted about almost 400 Los Angeles bands in 2012. I reckon I saw more than 500 live. Thanks to you all, sorry to those we didn’t get to, and happy new year.
