Culture Collide is coming! This festival, based in the Echo Park area and with an emphasis on international bands, is one of my favorites. It’s always a good vibe and I usually walk away with a new band or two to add to my “must see” list. I have yet to listen to all of the bands, but SXSW pick We Met Tomorrow are playing several sets and I hope to make all of them! For more information on who’s playing, set times, locations, and ticket sales: http://www.culturecollide.com/festivals/losangeles/
Otherwise, we’ve got another great week of music ahead. Zane Carney continues his must-see residency at The Hotel Cafe, UK buzz band, Catfish and The Bottlemen hit the Echo before going back home to a string of sold out shows, and, speaking of sold out shows, Hozier is in town. I envy all who have a ticket to that one.
