PICTURE THIS: Echo Park Rising 2013: Day 1

August 20. 2013 | By Samantha Saturday

This Saturday kicked off the third annual Echo Park Rising, seeing a double in days and a considerable increase in foot traffic – both to the benefit of the music and the neighboring community. In every nook and cranny of Echo Park there were jams to be heard and plenty of music fans to hear it. We used this opportunity to catch some of our favorite LA acts (The Hindu Pirates, White Arrows, The Henry Clay People), acts from across the pond (The Melodic), and discovered some new favorites (particularly Criminal Hygiene, whose performance we just couldn’t tear ourselves away from).
