Social Distortion

Huntington State Beach • CA • 2018

Photographed on October 28, 2018, at Surf City Blitz, this frame documents Mike Ness headlining on the sands of Huntington State Beach. Ness is captured playing his sticker-adorned goldtop Gibson Les Paul, complete with a newsboy cap and a rose tucked into the guitar’s headstock.

Representing Orange County’s foundational story, Social Distortion performed for an audience of 40,000 during a festival weekend that also featured an on-site fine art exhibition documenting independent music culture.
