Refused and The Hives at the Warfield

Refused
 

The Hives
 

The deluge of awesome concerts surrounding Coachella was immense. Luckily, I sent avid music fan and photographer Todd Nakamine up to San Francisco to capture the destruction of Refused and The Hives at the Warfield. Refused simply destroyed the Warfield and will likely repeat the feat at Coachella.
