Burgerama IV, Day One

BURGERAMA IV

Day One

OBSERVATORY, SANTA ANA, CA

28 MARCH, 2015

Burger Records continued their humble attempt to take over the world with edtion IV of their flagship Burgerama Festival, held on the grounds of the Observatory in Santa Ana, down in Orange County. It was a jam packed, wall to wall kind of day, overwhelming in the best of all possible ways, and the only regret is that there was only one of me. Burger favorites Bleached led an impressive main stage run, with Mississippi's Bass Drum Of Death and LA's Tijuana Panthers keeping it cranked in the sun. Australia's Step Panther and rising LA act Soko held court in the Constellation Room, then it was into the Observatory proper for a balls out set from UK's Palma Violets and a master class from the 805's own Madlib. Heading back in the Constellation Room, another Australian band Big White made an impact, and the night was topped with a breathless and much anticipated set from Hinds, straight outta Madrid. Technical issues took out a vast quantity of the days photos, but there's enough here to give you a taste of the action.

Burger A Go Go: Sights and Sounds

BURGER A GO GO

OBSERVATORY, SANTA ANA, CA

02 AUGUST, 2014

The first annual Burger A Go Go, put on by Burger Records, was a day long celebration of women in punk, and putting three stages up for grabs at the same time made for a dazzling array of bands, and a day not to be forgotten. Full coverage of the fest was executed along with the one and only Sam Saturday for The Owl Magazine. After you've parsed that, continue with this for your extra credit, with videos and more photos from a number of the day's acts, including Dog Party, Ruby Pins, Sex Stains, Skating Polly, Penny Machine, Cheryll, Peach Kelli Pop, The Muffs, La Sera, The Coathangers, Shannon and the Clams, and Bleached.
