Some photos and videos have been posted.

Sunday, we'd be shocked and horrified not to see a riot at The Echo for The Homosexuals, Silver Apples, and Shark Toys. We got a head start seeing the legends that are The Homosexuals last night at the PTP presented show at The Prospector. Words can't describe what video can but we nearly fell to our knees and kissed Bruno's feet for playing "Vociferous Slam." That rhymed... Also on Sunday, KSCR Fest at USC's E.F. Hutton/Founders Park.
