Sutratma, Swamp Ass, Die Healing at Stages in Lompoc, CA

 

Just to keep things in order, here's a comic I drew closer to when the show actually happened but didn't post here right away in order to keep the show reviews roughly in the correct sequence and because I submitted it to the Santa Barbara Independent to use on their website. It looks like I never sent it to them though! So here it is. This is from January 31st, 2026. And... a few other bands played that I missed: Gilted Woods and Black Lament.

Hundred Bliss and Nuzzle at Permanent Records in Los Angeles

 

This show was the return of Nuzzle and there was a ton of energy in the room! It was on December 6th, 2025. I bought a live record of Sonic Youth's last show from George Chen and left my ATM card at the bar. Had to go back and get it and buy more records the next weekend.

Chat Pile and Cap'n Jazz at the Wiltern in Los Angeles!

 

This show happened in December of 2025. Rainer Maria played too but I missed them!
