Glendale. A smallish city in Los Angeles not quite as famous for live music as Hollywood or Pomona. I don't think I'd ever been to a concert as close to where I go to school in my life. Enter Mad Decent and the Sea Turtle Conservancy.
In a coincident effort to raise funds for the Sea Turtle Conservancy and help fund Trippy Turtle's first album (coming in February 2014), Mad Decent announced a small show one day in advance, and I could already tell that it was going to be incredible.
The lineup for the show was pretty stacked - Lil Texas b2b CZ, a surprise guest, LIZ, Trippy Turtle and DJ Hoodboi to close out the night. The show took place at Complex, a place that seemed like a hole in the wall until I entered, and upon doing so I saw the small stage setup with a Funktion One sound system, and was more ready than ever for the Jersey Club beats that were soon to pound the space.
