  • 1. LISTENING TO JAMS By: Alexia Rodriguez Anthropology 102 Professor Wolfe 3/5/2014
  • 2. This is the first picture that was taken in the venue The Troubadour in West Hollywood. As you can see it is an incredibly small venue and everyone is very close to one another. This creates a sort of family amongst us. I am typically the type of person who is also attending shows like these. The best feeling is being able to relate to strangers who share the same passion that you do and connect as friends.
  • 3. BREATHE CAROLINA! The sort of music that this band plays is techno rock. The name is the band is Breathe Carolina. This was one of the smallest venues I have ever seen them play at. The are such a moving back and they are so energetic they pass that movement onto the crowd. This has been the only type of concert I have ever been exposed to besides seeing an Orchestra.
  • 4. From the previous slide I mentioned that I have only seen one other type of concert and it was Orchestra. These are two completely different genres. In orchestra people are more kept to themselves and dress very appropriate for the occasion. Whereas when I attend these rock concerts there is a variety of uniqueness among everyone there. They all have their own style of dressing and shows you their personality in clothing. This is one of my favorite pictures because it shows them in movement with their music.
  • 5. This is actually my sister and we got to meet the band prior to the show. And as you can see in the back in order for their fans to be able to meet them they had to donate cans. They were helping a good cause and spreading the word to their fans to do the same. Breathe Carolina is always trying to involve their fans to help the environment around them.
  • 6. STYLE This is actually the vocalist of the band, David Schmitt. I want to focus on the style that they have. As you can see he is more covered in tattoos and has this sort of edgy feeling to him. And in the previous slide you see Kyle Even, which is the other vocalist of the band and he dresses differently. His style is more conservative which I take because he is the oldest in the band. And David expresses himself more with the artwork on his body.
  • 7. COMMUNITY It is a tight knit community when attending shows. Everyone is aware of everyone in the room. If someone needs help nobody ever hesitates to lend a hand. We treat each other like family and if we get pushed down because the crowd starts dancing, we get picked up by the same people. We are all there to enjoy the music and that is what we do.
  • 8. This is a different angle from inside the venue and you can see that before I was on the balcony. But these shows arent restricted on where you can move just as long as youre not interrupting the set of the band. Those four individuals on top are actually from a different band called the It Boys. They come to support other bands and most of the time to enjoy time with their friends and their fans.
  • 9. This is the It Boys. The are a band that is barely starting the music careers, so they are not widely known. But that is what these small shows are for. They try to help these small bands tie together with more known bands to give them a chance to play their music and have a crowd.
  • 10. This is a more closer look that I had throughout the show. And I was able to witness something that not many people get to witness. The bands guitarist Joshua was actually leaving the band for personal reasons. You can see that people are recording this moment because it is one that we as fans never want to see happen. The emotion in this picture is amazing, it is a terribly loss for the band and you can witness it from the embrace of the front man to his dear friend.
  • 11. This is actually from a recording that I took of the moment and you can see again that they are giving him a moment for being part of the bands journey.
