DA’s heroes of HARD Summer 2013
The rest of the world may be galavanting in Ibiza, clubbing in Berlin, or recovering from a once-in-a-lifetime experience at Tomorrowland, but fans of electronic music on the West Coast are gearing up for HARD Summer this weekend in Los Angeles. HARD Summer is part of Gary Richard's highly respected HARD brand, with other events like HARD Day of the Dead and now HARD Red Rocks taking center stage. Although HARD was acquired by Live Nation in June of last year, they've managed to maintain an air of authenticity to their brand and that brand is all about fewer furry boots and more quality music.
