Photo Recap: Rob Zombie at Fivepoint Amp

Janky Smooth Central Command August 30, 2022

Rob Zombie is a national treasure. Over the course of decades, he’s cemented himself as the king of shock and horror rock, capturing the imaginations of millions around the world with a show filled with all sorts of oddities and spectacles. Whether it’s giant monsters taking the stage or sticking to his vision of retro-radioactive rock and roll, Rob Zombie has always managed to stick to his guns while pushing his art to the boundaries. On this tour, he took on various Nu metal heavyweights with whom he dominated the 90’s rock airwaves. Mudvayne, Static-X and Powerman 5000 all shared Rob’s vision for a new version of heavy metal that featured electronics and drag racer energy. With this stacked lineup, the tour ran through Irvine’s Fivepoint Amphitheatre and demolished everyone in their path. Photos by: Tony Molina Rob Zombie Mudvayne Powerman 5000

Photo Recap: Teyana Taylor in Southern California

Janky Smooth Central Command August 9, 2022

Teyana Taylor‘s art has always been elevated compared to the rest of the pop world. She represents a charisma, sensuality, sexuality, and rawness that is unparalleled in mainstream music. She inspires the underground far and wide, even bringing punks out to her two Southern California shows for the Last Rose tour stops at The Hollywood Palladium and House of Blues Anaheim. Her shows were painted deep red, with scandalous intent, making every little choreographed step more confident and confrontational. She brought out a slew of guests like Brandy and her husband, basketball pro, Iman Shumpert. Seeing Teyana’s incredible stage performance and setup let everyone dream as if they could do something as outrageous and ballsy, just seeing how hard she was going and how much of herself she put out there. We got some epic photos from her two Southern California shows and we hope you gaze upon their beauty like you would a rose.

Photo Recap: Joey Bada$$ at House of Blues San Diego

Janky Smooth Central Command August 1, 2022

To celebrate the anniversary of his iconic album, 2012’s 1999, Joey Bada$$ brought his unmistakably real flow and bars to the House of Blues San Diego for an unforgettable show and clinic in all things true hip hop. We sent a photographer out to capture the night’s highlights and in these pictures you can almost hear Joey’s gold standard for spitting rhymes. Along with 1999, Joey performed songs off his most recent album, 2000. Time seems to slow down at Joey Bada$$ shows. He likes to take audiences on trips to the past when hip hop was a little different and lyrics were king above all. Photos by: Rebecca DiGiglio Joey Bada$$
