If you like my photography, check out my writing! The Orange Rambler is my literary "vehicle" to write about music discovery, mostly covering Heavy Metal, Rock N' Roll, and Obscure music that deserves some time to shine in the spotlight! I just posted my Halloween edition (three weeks late) - but I worked very hard on it and I think a lot of you who follow me for my live music photography might like it! Happy Fall!

JUST posted my Halloween Edition of The Black & Orange Rambler Music Zine on Instagram! (Yes... in November) Go check it out there if you want a preview before I post here! Ramble On!! -Erikson🤘🤘

Just picked up by Hannah Kaner from The Crowded Bookshelf! Whether it be music, books, or art, I'm proud to support local whenever I can. I ventured to Mythmaker Brewing where they hosted The Crowded Bookshelf's pop-up bookshop with everything that you see here, including that amazing skull decal from Amy Powell Art, and the equally cute and badass dragon "Book-Wyrm" mascot of the Crowded Bookshelf guarding its prized paperbacks designed by Ky Kennedy Art. I highly encourage you to show some support to our independent booksellers, artists, and businesses however you can, even if that is just following them on their social media (After all, it's FREE!). Even if you can't make it in person, remember you can always order from them online at https://www.thecrowdedbookshelf.com/ or https://bookshop.org/shop/crowdedbookshelf.

More posts of music, stickers, art, to follow soon! Here's to enjoying everything sp00ky season has to offer! Reading good books, crunching through Fall leaves, toasting tasty drinks, making new friends, touching grass, and (as always) listening to your favorite tunes (especially heavy metal). 🤘🤘

P.S. Is this what people mean when they say to "Touch Grass"? Go out and take pictures so I can post it onto social media? If you read this far, Thank You! Reply with a leaf and a Fall book/band recommendation, and I'll know you're THAT much cooler than everyone else! 🍁🍂🎃🤘

I had the absolute honor and privilege of witnessing living legends and on their North American tour! Not only that, but I got to see both of these stars of rock and their bands FRONT ROW! Two words: MIND BLOWING! I even came home with a guitar pick.

Pictured in this album is Yngwie Malmsteen, hands down one of the greatest guitarists alive. Not pictured are his incredible band members nor his stage crew, who also bring a level of musicianship and professionalism above and beyond the scope of not only their own genre, but live music all together.

If you've never heard of Yngwie Malmsteen or Rising Force before, treat yourself to the shred-tastically glorious 1980's rock songs, "Heaven Tonight", "Far Beyond the Sun", or "Rising Force".

Many thanks as always to the lovely .
More pictures and maybe even some video to come soon.

I am a sucker for stickers!

This awesome wall comes to you from in Denver, where I caught Goat Hill Massacre during their album release show for "Aporkalypse Upon Us". Just check out that Tethys next to the NES controller! Other favorites include Twist And Shout Records, Triton FC, and Poolside At The Flamingo. Which are your favorites?

Last week I attended Goat Hill Massacre's album release at Black Sky Brewery. Big ups to the bands for putting on great sets and the venue for being so cool and letting me bring my camera. More to follow soon! For fans of Old Skool Death Metal with a hint of groove sprinkled in, they're GREAT live. Check out their page for links to their newest release, "Aprokalypse Upon Us". (August 19, 2023). They were supported by Condemned to Burn and . Remember to support your local scene, indie bands, and underground music!! Next week, I'm heading back to Denver to catch a band I've been waiting for YEARS to see again. -Erik

I went someplace very cool this past weekend! Photo album to follow. I'm sure some of you will recognize where just by the awesome artwork painted on the wall outside... Anybody care to guess? I'll give you two hints: 1. It was LOUD & 2: It smelled like garlic pizza from there to fifth street. \../,🤘🤘🍕🧄🐏🎸🎤🥁🍺 August 19, 2023

Hello, everyone! I'm re-launching my photography page! Follow to see my adventures around Colorado, whether that be out on the town like in this collection, or covering live music (stay tuned for that!). It feels good to get back to viewing the world through a photographic lens and artistic eye.

In this first collection of pictures (taken August 12th, 2023), take a look at the beautiful murals of Downtown Fort Collins with pieces that are part of the City of Fort Collins Mural Project ().

If you want to see them for yourself, pay a visit to Driver 8 Records at 246 Pine Street in downtown Fort Collins! (https://driver8records.com/)

This first piece was painted in 2021 by Sofia Ramirez (Instagram: artworkofsofirami), and Levon Meserlian (Instagram: wayward_murals).

More pictures to come! I love this artwork, and I'm looking forward to taking pictures of Sofi Rami's work in Loveland (and Denver and beyond as well!).
