Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 3/31-4/6

Posted on by Kristen

Last week was a wonderful emotional/musical boost full of magical moments.  There was Canadia rockers, daysormay, ending an already rousing set with an explosive Beastie Boys cover, Barns Courtney’s intimate acoustic set stage dive, Milk Carton Kids sharing the stage with Kenneth’s dog and elevating their hit “Michigan” with an assist from Madison Cunningham, getting to know Vienna Vienna at their soundcheck, Mitchy Collins (lovelytheband) demonstrating his songwriter prowess with new solo material at The Hotel Cafe, and watching a terminator sing along to Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars.”

I’m not entirely sure where to go from there, but next week we’ve got potential with SXSW ’25 selection Twin Shadow playing two nights at the Bansdall Gallery Theatre, brothers Raffoul (Billy and Peter) at The Peppermint Club, and Grace Cummings’ return to Gold-Diggers (her last show there left the entire room transfixed).

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 3/10-3/16

Posted on by Amanda

This week is all about prep for me. I have two trips back to back with two days in between. I should probably pack for both but will likely only pack for one and then speed pack for the other. I’m also getting my calendars prepped and ready. I won’t have a ton of time when I hit the UK at the end of the month. It’s a bit bittersweet with the demise of You Me At Six but I’m looking forward to the experience of the trip as a whole. But first, I’ll be in Boston with a side quest to New York. Catch me if you can!
