Who is Ben Welsh?

post  LA is much different from DC.

So I'm out on a casual stroll in downtown LA the other night, and what do I bump into? If you guessed an illegal rock show put on by a group of chicks armed with fireworks and dressed in bikinis, you guessed right. Photos below the fold.

The crowd wandered over after a show at the nearby indie club, The Smell. The noise brought down an angry loft-dweller from the nearby Higgins Building, and eventually the LAPD officer pictured below, who advised the musicians to considering holding future events a few blocks further down, away from residential developments.

For their part, the band -- who go by the name Josh Taylor's Friends Forever -- played dumb, telling the cops that they didn't realize so many people lived downtown these days.

Were you the angry loft dweller ? :-)

Nope. But that guy was pretty ticked. He stormed up and did the "I'm going to literally pull the plugs out of your equipment routine." But they talked him down.
