Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 3/13-3/19

I know it’s cliche to talk about the weather but this stupid rain has made me not want to leave the warmth of my apartment and deal with people on the road. As such, it was another music free week. However, tonight I’m being treated to a free Nemophila show thanks to my cousin. I’m fairly sure he was looking for an excuse to attend and make the drive down so, I agreed to go. That and the show should be done by 9:30pm because I’m a lame old lady now. This week is kind of weak compared to last week but there’s still some good shows out there.

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 3/6-3/12

Music looks like it’s finally starting to pick up here in SD. It’s a packed and stacked week! I didn’t go out last week. Instead, I opted to listen to The Silent Comedy after the whole I Am Alright screening. Apparently, I Became part of a blend on Spotify and my music has been TSC and the music I use for teaching barre classes. That’s an interesting Mix! Speaking of music, I’m currently at war with my laptop and phone because music from independent artists I’ve purchased, imported, and put on my phone/laptop is greyed out. My best options are to get a new laptop with an updated OS and hope I can bring the music over. I have a TON of music from now-defunct bands I would hate to lose. I’m looking at you Get Back Loretta and Th’ Moonlight Sexy. Sigh. Anyway, enjoy this wonderful week. Go, support bands and artists.

Amanda SD Concert Calendar 2/27-3/5

I was at both ends of San Diego this past week for music-related events. Early in the week, I was in Oceanside for the Oceanside Film Festival screening of I Am Alright, which was about “the rise and fall of The Silent Comedy.” More specifically, it discussed the impact of the music business on one’s mental health and the costs involved in trying to make it. The movie is ever evolving so it will be great to see how it changes over time! After the screening and subsequent q & a, they played a few songs acoustically with Shane Hall filling in for a missing member. A few days later, I was down at the Music Box for a very rowdy Almost Monday show. It was a very fulfilling week, musically speaking. Let’s see what’s up this week…
