The Sunset Strip Music Festival, Through the Lens of Adam Bravin of She Wants Revenge
Did you make it out for the fun and musical merriment that was this year's Sunset Strip Music Festival? With dozens of bands packing the stages at the many legendary music clubs on the famous strip, and some major headliners rocking hard on the main stages, like Public Enemy, Bush, Matt & Kim, and West Hollywood's highly-honored Mötley Crüe.
For a unique perspective on the rocking and rolling and fun-having, we've got some photos taken of the event by Adam Bravin of She Wants Revenge, one of the bands who played the annual fest this year.
