Local Music Nation

Now that July 4^th has come and gone, I hope it brings an end to the nightly fireworks. I was disappointed by the lack of online music events for the holiday but walking around my neighborhood provided a surprising assortment of instrumentals including a jazz trumpet, a group of string instruments, and what sounded like an organ all coming from inside various homes. There was also the garage rock band playing covers from (shocker!) a garage, but I scurried quickly past that one and the gathering crowd.

Next week, we’ve got some exciting UK festivals including the week long Sucker Fest (see Sucker FB and IG for details) and Saturday’s Finsperry Festival featuring quite a few of the up and coming British bands I’ve discovered in this lockdown.

Today I drove to one of my fave LA neighborhoods, Little Tokyo, and walked around.  It’s funny how something I did a year ago without even thinking now feels like a grand adventure.  I walked around truly appreciating the sights and sounds (and boba establishments).  I couldn’t bring myself to walk past one of my favorite venues, The Moroccan Lounge…too sad. I will say that one positive thing that has come from these months of solitude is an appreciation for the smaller moments of life. I suppose that’s what happens when one slows down.

My soundtrack to this week’s small moment phase has been provided by new music from Mondo Cozmo and livestreams from Glen Philips, Sam Calver, and the final Friday Night Quarantunes with The Vocal Few (The Classic Crime’s Matt and his wife Kristie). Speaking of final quarantine shows, next week we have the last offerings from Freya Ridings and Frank Turner.

This weekend, I tuned in to the Tiny Changes Tiny Gigs event. After tearfully watching Frank Turner’s set of Frightened Rabbit songs, I sat in that emotion and watched the Tiny Changes documentary released last year around the time of the Tiny Changes: A Celebration of The Midnight Organ Fight album. Ben Gibbard opens the doc with a poignant message about our perception of “good” music and how, after years of being a music fan, new music doesn’t hit quite the same and it becomes increasingly difficult to find music that moves us.  This increasingly difficult quest is not made easier by the lack of live music (the only real way to determine the quality of a band). In lieu of the shows, if you have any new band recommendations, send them my way. In the meantime, livestream recommendations as follows:

I’ve been getting in some solid reading time these days. My preferred genre is whatever will take me furthest away from reality, but it feels like everything I have read recently has some uncanny relevance to the current moment. First, my book club book, Isaac Asimov’s Foundation which, while taking place in a seemingly distant galaxy, reads like a primer on how to manipulate an entire empire under the guise of education, religion, and economics.  Tonight, I’ll finish Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde which takes place in a world where hue-based color perception is not only a genetic variant but a determinant of societal standing.  As delightfully absurd as the book reads on the surface (think Douglas Adams), its innards reveal a veiled reflection on how an entire society can be kept in the dark about certain realities by a deceptive governance.  Maybe I should pick up some sort of romance novel next. That, surely, will be the most distant reality…

My musical tastes last week drifted towards the more low-key sounds. Sets from Jay Nash (with Garrison Starr!), Ben Sollee, and Dylan LeBlanc were just what I needed. Not that I didn’t sneak in a few lovely rock numbers from Billy from the Subways, King No-One and the last of the Corella Saturdays.

Here’s what it’s looking like for next week. I’ve downloaded the #BeApp which is offering a lovely assortment of great artists (K.Flay, X Ambassadors, Donna Missal next week) plus a much appreciated option to opt out of any comment scrolling.  Thanks #BeApp!

My personal triumph of the week: delicious tri-layered breakfast bars! I’ve been making my own breakfast bars since I’ve had a kitchen (only about a year and a half), but this is the fanciest I’ve attempted. I’m not really a recipe person so my routine is to mix random things in one bowl, spread it out onto a pan and plop it into the oven, but this week I had three separate bowls of random things. It was delightful! Now I have my banana/chia, coconut, blueberry/granola bars to help me get out of bed in the morning. I’d say that’s a win so I’m going to focus on that one.

I did a terrible job of keeping track of all things music last week, but I will say I am very appreciative of Coyle Girelli, Vocal Few, and the Aussie artists of Isol-Aid who brought me some solace in the later part of another emotionally exhausting week.

Here’s what I’ve got started to look forward to next week:

To Keep in Mind:

June 12-14^th: Download’s Virtual Festival

~ Kristen

It can be funny the things that make you emotional in the days of a pandemic. This week, I completely lost it when I saw a video of Dar Williams singing “As Cool As I Am” for Bryn Mawr College’s remote May Day celebration.  It’s been nearly 15 years since I had my own Bryn Mawr May Day and Dar’s song was a reminder of the promise of those times which felt both nostalgic and inspiring.

Other music that sparked this week include sets from Billy of The Subways, Nick of Dreamers, and The Airborne Toxic Event who drew a fine template for what live music might look like in the near future with their album release concert from EastWest Studios.  Then there was Biffy Clyro who showed everyone how it’s done with their explosive lockdown video for new single, “Tiny Indoor Fireworks.” Mon the Biff!

Oh Yeah Music Center (see their FB page) is hosting events where favorite artists play seminal albums front to back with the help of a couple up and coming singers. Last week, Gary Lightbody did Snow Patrol’s Final Straw with Rosborough and Roe and next week Foy Vance will be joined by The Darlking Air and Stephen Macartney to perform Joy of Nothing in its entirety. This will be can’t miss music.

Here’s what else is on my list. More to come as the week progresses.
