Who?

Zach and Mando met at the University of California, Santa Cruz in a student film production club. Both Bay Area Natives and avid music fans, the two began collaborating almost immediately on films and glitch art inspired by their shared favorite artists. When Mando graduated and moved to Berkeley, CA, Zach took every chance to visit and soak up the live music scene. When Zach moved to Portland, OR, Mando did the same.

And here we all are.

Why?

Bump is a collaboration between two photographers obsessed with the art of attending concerts. In order to share our experiences from the parking lot to the pit, we’re creating a guide to the live music scenes in Portland, Oregon and the San Francisco Bay Area.

Bump exists for your inspiration.
