New Band Love alert! I went to The Echo Saturday to check out an Australian band whose EP had landed in my inbox and subsequently into my songs of 2019 playlist.  I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was not the entire main floor of the venue turned into some sort of mosh pit. I found an enviable perch in the back and, once able to breathe, quickly fell in love with the dynamic energy and rock chords of The Faim (I think it was the keys…I’m a sucker for piano in a rock song).

Next week, more music! Show picks include checking out new tunes from Highly Suspect at The Novo and Evan + Zane’s Halloween show at The El Rey!

This weekend I did something I generally try to avoid at all costs – shopping. I have a couple impending events next week that require food items (a fiber arts gathering and a themed bookclub potluck) and I’m also preparing for a trip to a colder, rainier climate.  While meandering in and out of various stores and malls, I was wearing a fairly typical weekend getup consisting of a band t-shirt and ripped jeans acquired 10+ years ago, aged in such a way as to be ripped in several places with large holes exposing the knees.  I go into such detail because, quite shockingly, at multiple points in my day I received compliments on my tattered pants!  One woman even asked where I had purchased them…. Clearly, we have entered some sort of Twilight Zone situation if people are looking at me as fashionable.

Clothing is certainly not the thing to take advice from me about, but music is! Last week I scored perfect weekday show attendance (5/5). My body was wrecked, but my soul was well fed. This week, more soul-stirring music awaits including UK artists Banners and The Faim playing The Echo Thursday and Saturday nights, respectively. Can’t wait!
