Le Swish | The Observatory, Santa Ana
LA-based band Le Swish played in support of The Academy Is... on their Almost Here 10 tour late last month. Le Swish is the latest project of Bob Morris, best known as a member of Chicago indie band, The Hush Sound. They rocked the sold out Observatory with their solid energy and charisma, and were a blast to photograph.
This is my last of three blog posts from this tour; if you missed the first two, check them out at the links below!

PARTYBABY, a band out of Los Angeles, went along for the ride with The Academy Is... on their Almost Here 10 tour last month. They were colorful and entertaining, and made for some fun photos and a great time for the sold out Observatory crowd!
