Eastern Conference Champions @ The Hammer Museum – 7/7/11

In early May, I was surfing Facebook when I saw my friend Taylor’s post about how ridiculously awesome the new ECC album was. Naturally, I had to ask who ECC was &, ever since then, I’ve been hooked on Eastern Conference Champions.

Last night was my 1st ECC show as well as my 1st time attending 1 of KCRW’s Also I Like To Rock free concerts at The Hammer Museum in Westwood. It was difficult for me to accept missing the 1st Santa Monica Pier concert of the summer in order to see Eastern Conference Champions but, boy, was it worth it! Plus, The Bangles are playing at the pier next Thursday night so I’m more than happy to have THAT show be my 1st beach concert of the summer :-)

ECC were fun, playful & super energetic on stage & they rocked the Hammer’s courtyard…HARD. Both Melissa & Josh were constantly switching up instruments which is something I always love to see/hear &, when the Los Angeles-based trio ended their set with all 3 of them simultaneously going nuts on drums, the crowd went wild. If some people in the audience didn’t know who Eastern Conference Champions were before last night, there’s no way they’ll be able to forget them now.
