One Hundred Trillion Gecs: 100 Gecs at the Shrine

100 Gecs, the duo of Laura Les and Dylan Brady, are the most polarizing group in all of contemporary music. People either love them or hate them. I rarely hear an indifferent reaction after playing their music for someone. Frankly, that’s the way I like it. A band that can summon immediate love or deep hatred at the same time means they’re a band made for the weirdos that even the normies can grow to appreciate. I personally love the band’s music and don’t care what anyone thinks of me for loving it. After all, since the beginning of 100 Gecs, it’s always been them against the world. related content: Alien Boys And Girls: George Clanton And Magdalena Bay At 1720 I was so incredibly stoked to cover 100 Gecs’ concert at the Shrine and wasn’t one bit surprised they packed the house with what might’ve been the biggest crowd they’ve performed in front of that wasn’t in a festival setting. You can say 100 Gecs is music for nerds because it attracts gamers, dweebs and outsiders but at the same time, there were plenty of jocks and cheerleaders in that audience, raging harder than anyone for the mysterious duo.

Underoath are back and no longer playing under the “christian” moniker. This musical resurrection came to the Shrine Expo Hall for the Erase Me tour with Dance Gavin Dance, Crown The Empire, and The Plot in You. Fans waited anxiously in silence until just like a kick to the face, post-hardcore heroes, Underoath hit the stage, blaring with “On My Teeth” off their new album, Erase Me. People went nuts, jumping over the railing and crowd surfing while the band reeked havoc on stage. Then just as things were getting extremely heavy and intesne, this giant and gentle band brought the crowd to tears with “I Hate It”. Over all, it was a killer show to mark the rebirth of Underoath from start to finish. Photos by: Pedro Carrera Underoath Dance Gavin Dance Crown The Empire The Plot in You
