Teenage band in LA

I took this video on Santa Monica in January 2013, when I was in LA, and I uploaded it on YouTube a year later. This is my first YouTube upload. This video has been viewed more than a decade. I hope they are still living happily with music! :-)

Wow a decade ago and this was recommended in the algorithm! Great performance, wanted to see the whole song. This was at the Third Street Promenade, right? Always loved this part of LA/Santa Monica (moved here in 2011) because it reminds me so much of Pearl Street in Boulder, CO (went to college at CU), which is also blocks of shops lining both sides of the pedestrian-only cobblestone steet — and performers and people hanging out in the middle. Too bad the Promenade isn't as much of a chill hang out place, everyone's on a mission, just there to shop, and rarely pay any mind to street performers. Meanwhile, people go to Boulder's Pearl Street just to walk around, grab some ice cream at the corner shop while people watching, and it attracts all kinds of performers who can get huge crowds. What made me realize Boulder such a unique little haven to begin with was my first time on Pearl Street; seeing college students greet members of the small but really chill homeless community by name, and many knew the students on a first name basis too. Somehow, this college town that represented hyper-inequality, full of wealthy people in downtown Boulder (Pearl was the only spot they'd intermingle with college students, going deep in debt attending the very University that feeds their local economy), broke college students, working class locals, tourists, and homeless people — all getting along, all acting like a community. Unfortunately, haven't seen that anywhere else in this country, and the Promenade's high retail rent likely shapes the corporate chain stores & high end brands/boutiques that line the streets, which then draw higher income shoppers, tourists, and the rest are just window shopping before heading to the beach (what I used to do). Venice is obviously the best spot for street performers, but there's a whole underworld that decides who gets to perform and where, so long as they pay their cut. All of Venice Beach is like that. Anyways, apologies for the side tangent, just a shame more people on the Promenade don't appreciate the street performers enough to make it more than a high-end outdoor mall.
