Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 03/20-03/26

I don’t know why I am still awake. I shouldn’t be. I slept 45 minutes last night plus a couple cat naps on planes today.  But here I am going through my SXSW swag and reminiscing about all of the amazing things I was able to see and do last week in Austin. There wasn’t one stand-out band this year, but several that I’m really excited about. I will do a proper post on my top picks, but it will probably include Picture This, an Irish band who is coming to play LA Weds night at Resident, so I will get that one out there now.

However, the real excitement of the week is that it will end on Sunday with none other than my number one musical obsession, Biffy Clyro! Anytime I get a little tired, I’ll just start chanting Mon the Biff and get all pumped up for Sunday’s extravaganza at The Belasco.  Sometimes life is just one great thing after another! Let’s just hope my SXSW high will last all week.
