We all know that the bands in California are the best and during the holidays is the time to go out and see some of our favorites. It’s a cruel world out there, and locals need to support each other to make this thing work.

Here are photos of some of our bands that perform at the likes of Cafe Nela, a venue that is heralded for hosting hordes of up-and-comers and established veterans.
