Photos and recap by Debi Del Grande

Headlining The Troubadour while being filmed for Carson Daly and surrounded by many friends in full support feels like just the beginning for the quartet from Whittier, Plague Vendor. With their sophomore album BLOODSWEAT coming out on March 25th (Epitaph), sweet spots opening for Refused in the near future, and playing every possible gig in Southern California, the band has more than earned high praise. PV’s hard, dark and powerful sound is sparked by the energy of Brandon Blaine (vocals), Luke Perine (drums), Michael Perez (bass) and Jay Rogers (guitar). The set was filled with songs from the new album like “Jezebel” and the punch-in-the-face “Credentials.” Come to Amoeba Music on March 24th to experience.

It was all in the family with The Bots and White Mystery preceding Plague Vendor. Both bands had many people there to catch their rocking sets.
