A packed house threw goat during the Big Loud Rock showcase at Winston House in Venice on 1/23. Proud papa Greg Thompson introduced the show, which included sets from Yam Haus, BIZZY and Letdown. Seen just before showing us how to big and loud they can really get are (back row, l-r) Dave Barbis; Lloyd Norman; AJ Kasen; Letdown.; Thompson; BIZZY; Delaine Halpin; Colleen Kennedy; Ava Boney; (front row, l-r) Yam Haus’ Lars Pruitt and Zach Beinlich; Nicole Rich; and Yam Haus’ Jake Felstow. Moments before, Greg endured the indignity of a photo op with HITS’ Simon Glickman like the seasoned pro he is.
