Remember that insane show Poketo had with Portugal. The Man back in May this year? Angelenos, now is your chance to experience another epic night. Portugal. The Man are back in LA for a one night show at The El Rey Theater tomorrow, Saturday October 30th. I believe you can still get tickets! If you are not in LA, they are touring the west side of the country and you can check their scheduled dates here.
Such good vibes, great fans, Portugal knows how to rock and their art is insane … aaaaawww, I can’t wait to see them again. Plus, another good opportunity to get the limited edition Poketo x Portugal wallets. Only 150 of each of the designs made. Front man, John Gourley and artist, Austin Sellers proudly showing their killer Poketo wallets. Check out all three design here.

Cinematic Photography
I met Armen Perian on the night of the Portugal. The Man x Los Angeles, I’m Yours show. He was front row, asking me if it was cool to take photos. He was cognizant of the crowd, the band and wanted to be a fly on the wall to simply document this incredible performance. Halfway into the set, I could see he was positioning himself for some great shots. Over the blaring music, I handed him my phone and told him to type in his email so that we could reconnect after the show.
Later, I find out that Armen is a film major at Art Center with a great love for photography–you can see that clearly from these shots and a bunch more on his Flickr–moody, beautiful, cinematic.
At only 19 years old, Armen started taking photos his junior year in high school and was positive that was his career path. Up until attending his first year at Art Center he switched his focus to film, wanting to explore the narrative and collaborative aspect of filmmaking. Looking at his still photography, narrative still comes through, I look forward to seeing what he does with moving images. Here is a video he put together quickly of the Portugal. The Man performance for “Los Angeles, I’m Yours”.
