The King Mixers at the Fox and Hounds English Pub in studio City. I believe they play there every friday night. I recommend having a few pints and checking them out if you’re ever in the area.
The King Mixers
After our Crafter Guitar shoot, I called up some friends in the area and we ended up at the Fox & Hounds. The Fox and Hounds English pub is a Studio City, California landmark where British Ex-pats join the young locals (and wayward visitors who stumble upon it) for pints, darts and sports from around the world.

for some their early cuts on Monster Records and releases on Disaster Records. So, I thought it would be cool to catch up with some old friends I hadn't seen in a while and the Dickies... I still have their vinyl records in my collection and I used to listen to them in High School, so I was looking forward to their set as well.
and of course, shot in existing light. I obviously had a little fun in post kicking up contrast in
