Softcult, Wayside and Present at Bottom of the Hill

by Petyr Campos

Softcult played Saturday night at the cozy and intimate venue, Bottom of the Hill. The small setting made the show feel personal and energetic. The audience was packed and attentive, creating a strong connection between the twin duo (Mercedes Arn‑Horn and Phoenix Arn‑Horn) and fans. They brought a lot of energy to the stage, with tight interplay between guitar/drums and bass. The emotional intensity came through strong, especially in tracks that have heavier riffs or atmospheric parts.

Saturday’s second act was Australian band Wayside. Wayside delivered a set that felt both raw and emotional.

Local band Present opened the night. Present gave a loud, raw modern-grunge short, punchy performance.

Petyr Campos I've been creating images solely with my iPhone since 2009 when my DSLR camera broke and I've never looked back. I like the advantages and challenges that are unique to photographing and creating imagery within the iPhone ecosystem. The iPhone serves as both my camera and darkroom. Many of my images leverage specific photographic apps to create a mood, emotion, or idea I want to convey. My work and photographic style is a mixture of documentary and free-form art leveraging IOS apps post process to create distinct and unique imagery.
