The Constellation Room

Documented backstage at The Constellation Room on December 7, 2021, this photograph stands as the final portrait of San Diego grindcore group The Locust featuring Justin Pearson, Joey Karam, Bobby Bray, and the late Gabe Serbian.

Wearing their tailored full-body mesh suits, the session captured the band’s uncompromising visual identity during their final concert run. This historical print is featured on display at the Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas.

Captured on November 5, 2014, at The Constellation Room in Santa Ana, California, this photo shows Geoff Rickly performing with the hardcore supergroup United Nations during The Next Four Years tour.

Formed as an anonymous side project involving members of Thursday, Glassjaw, and Pianos Become the Teeth, the group utilized satirical press materials and Reagan masks to bypass label restrictions. This close-up frame documents Rickly at the microphone during a club set.
