Local Music Nation

I have discovered something more uncomfortable than sitting in an unairconditioned room trying to work all day…sitting in said unairconditioned room trying to work while you are running a fever! Needless to say, my day has not gone as planned. Yesterday, however, I did my due diligence catching over 20 bands at Echo Park Rising. It was nice to see so many local faves, but I was mostly excited about discovering new acts like Foxes & Lions, New American, Lucy & La Mer, and Hey Hey which is not a band, but a tea shop turned venue that was by far the most enjoyable place to be with its comfy seats and boba tea bar.

Next week is a short one for me as I am taking off Thursday night for a long weekend in Denver. My baseball team is also in town, so I’m thinking my Monday, Tuesday, and Weds nights might be spent at Dodger Stadium rather than a concert hall or club. If anyone fancies a ballgame, let me know!

Meanwhile, tons of great music to check out. I’m particularly sad about missing out on a great night of rock Thursday at The Satellite and one of my favorites, Jared & The Mill, playing with Lydia Saturday night at The Troubadour. Someone better go in my stead.

Last week was yet another example of how music fixes everything.  I was feeling overwhelmed by life and then Monday night, after spending an evening with Zane Carney and his incredibly talented friends, somehow everything became manageable again.  And I’d like to pause for a second to reflect on how cool it was when Zane brought up his sister, Paris, as well as Evan Rachel Wood and T.V. Carpio to sing a medley of songs from the movie, Across the Universe which celebrated its 10-year anniversary last week by spending a few days back in the theaters.

Next week, Harvard & Stone seems the place to be with an exciting list of up and coming bands, but my pick of the week goes to Sunday night’s show at The Moroccan Lounge featuring Cary Brothers!

The GISH has begun! This weekend, I embark on a week-long scavenger hunt with an international team of intrepid, creative, and slightly weird individuals.  I’m doing my best to fight through exhaustion and find some time in my already jam-packed schedule to participate in at least some of the mayhem.  Today, I visited an animal shelter, found a sign language instructor, and am thinking about engineering and bookshelves…

Also, thinking about all the great music happening this week. Monday, in particular, is going to be an adventure as I play the how many venues can you get to in one evening game.  Between Meg Myers’ record release celebration, High Voltage presenting two events (game night at Scum & Villainy Cantina and the Yip Yops residency at The Echo), and the one and only Zane Carney heading at the Troubadour, it will be a fun challenge to see and do as much as possible!
