Drugdealer and Sedona at The Chapel SF

by Petyr Campos

I caught Drugdealer’s stop on their current tour at The Chapel SF and came away with a big smile. It was a show that had plenty going for it — slick musicianship, a warm retro-glam vibe, and a live performance that felt communal. Frontman Michael Collins always interacted with the crowd and acknowledged his Bay Area connection, and the crowd was fully into it with lots of energy.

The intimate space, the warm sound, the mutual enjoyment between band and audience made it memorable. If they come back through SF (or you ever get a chance in a similar venue), I’d say go for it, bring friends, enjoy the groove, and let the mellow magic of it carry you.

Sedona gave a solid and memorable show. She also brought along her stuffed polar bear, Mo-Jo, to sit front and center on the stage. Sedona delivered more than just songs; she offered moments of reflection, emotion, and live energy. I enthusiastically recommend seeing Sedona next time she’s in town.

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. Originally from Chicago, IL, San Francisco has been my home since 1996. I currently reside in the Outer Richmond.
