At The Drive-In

Cedric Bixler-Zavala throws his arms out wide at the mic stand in this fisheye shot from Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, on October 17, 2018, a fan of white stage lights firing out behind him like a solar flare.

At The Drive-In was touring that fall with System of a Down and Skeletonwitch, the El Paso band twisting through the same tightly wound, physical set that’s defined them since the 90s, Omar Rodríguez-López, Paul Hinojos, Tony Hajjar, and Keeley Davis all in motion on either side of him.
