PICTURE THIS: Burgerama @ The Observatory, Santa Ana 3/22-23/2013

March 29. 2013 | By Chandler Elena

At multi-room shows, more often than not people sprint from stage to stage in hopes of catching some artists and safely avoiding others. But the crowd never split at Burgerama, with

one steadily churning mass driving southern California garage punk fans and artists back and forth across the floor of The Observatory. There weren”t any barriers between the musicians and the people who came to see them; the bands ran their own merchandise stands upstairs and mingled with BBQ munchers on an outside patio. The energy ricocheting around the building was unified and positive, leaving no doubt that the music and the experience were the top priorities of everyone inside.
