FILTER's 2012 Culture Collide Grand Finale Block Party

Thanks to FILTER, we had the privilege of enjoying the musical talents of bands of varying levels of fame in their native lands over the four-day event right here in L.A.'s backyard for indie kids. Music varied from electro-pop to funk and soul that inspired some impassioned dancing (see man in yellow below). Along with the live music, Culture Collide featured happy hours, comedy shows and an array of food trucks with Sunday's block party serving as the festival's grand finale with a jam-packed lineup of performances plus a blank canvas and paint for guests to exercise their own creative sides and leave their personal mark on the event.
