Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 10/12-10/18

Posted on by Kristen

I find myself overwhelmed by all the music I want to listen to. New music, old music, music in preparation for a show, music in celebration after a show…my ears want to be in too many places at the same time and no one song or artist is getting the attention they deserve. In about a month, I will be heading to Orlando Florida for Warped Tour and that playlist is also not getting enough love. I need to find more bands for my Sunday list.

Next week, we have several artists doing shows celebrating old albums – Allan Rayman celebrating 10 years of Hotel Allan, Augustana celebrating 20 years of All the Stars and Boulevards and Matchbox 20 and The Wallflowers both celebrating 30 years of Yourself or Someone Like You and Bringing Down the Horse, respectively.

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 10/12-10/18

Posted on by Amanda

Happy Sunday! It’s a gloomy one today after a tropical storm hit us yesterday. I’m taking it easy today after dancing the night away at a lovely and super fun wedding last night. Some of us were talking about the early bird events that remind us of going out dancing and how much fun those would be for those of us who have to get up in the morning. As chance would have it, there’s one this week at the Music Box and I’ve decided to start including them on my calendar. I can’t be the only one who loves the idea of an event being over by 9:30pm/10pm. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a complete night owl at home but when I was at Michelle Branch a few weeks ago, I kept yawning even though it was only 9:30pm! Nothing against the show but I don’t go out enough to be in show shape anymore. Speaking of show shape, this week is shaping up with shows except for Thursday, for some reason. Consider that a rest night.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 10/05-10/11

Posted on by Kristen

Rocktober has gotten off to a very good start for me (I’m 4/4 plus a wonderful Rocktober’s eve spent front row at the Judah & the Lion show).  Friday night, I went to a rock show at the Regent Theater featuring co-headliners Holding Absence and Arm’s Length with openers House & Home and Bloom. I thought the bill was notable because the 4 bands were from 4 different countries (UK, Canada, US, and AU), but several of the bands pointed out it was notable because it was “mixed-genre.” Sure, one of them was a bit more scream-y hardcore (Bloom), but they all sounded like they belonged on a Warped Tour lineup to me. Do most music listeners really get hyper-fixated and only listen to sub-genres? In working on this concert list, my playlist is going from new discovery Bloom to Paula Cole to the new Twin Atlantic album, Separation From The Animals and I’m not thinking much of it.

Let’s see how many genres and sub-genres of music we can get into next week. I am particularly looking forward to SXSW ’26 discovery Raynes and another fave UK rock band, The Royston Club, playing their first LA headline gig at the Moroccan Lounge.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 09/28-10/04

Sometimes my week’s musical journey is determined not by who is at the top of the bill, but who is opening. In Color (with Mothica and Wilt) were the reason I ended up at the Jutes show at the Wiltern last Wednesday and then Saturday I was at the Palladium for Dexter and the Moonrocks (but really for Cigarettes @ Sunset and a new band discovery, High June). Tonight I am at the Roxy looking forward to who Charlotte Sands will be introducing me to (looks like more female-fronted rockers – let’s go!).

Lesson: don’t sleep on the openers – they could be your new favorite band.

My top pick next week is Holding Absence & Arm’s Length at the Regent Theater Friday night, but conflicts abound the rest of the week. I will have to listen to some of the openers to decide where I will end up:
