I was looking forward to finally having a weekend at home, but then a coworker offered me a pass to KAABOO in San Diego. I tried banging my head on my desk until a “no, thank you” came out of my mouth, but I found myself incapable of even mouthing the words so down to San Diego (again) I went. Yesterday, I rocked out with Garbage, Jared & The Mill, Armors, and Pink (!!) and today my schedule is highlighted by The Shadowboxers, The Cordovas, and Alanis Morrissette. I’m also having an absolute blast with my KAABOO-boos. I’ve never been to a festival with so many friends before…
A couple other things of note:
Have you heard the big radio news??? One of the best LA stations for discovering new music, KCSN (88.5) has merged with KSBR to extend the station’s broadcasting range (no more losing signal on those long drives!). Sky Daniels hosted a celebratory event Thursday at The Village Studios and I was incredibly privileged to attend. I poked around the historic studio space looking for evidence of Biffy Clyro before watching Gary Clark Jr. play his dirty rock version of The Beatles’ “Come Together” (and a few other tunes).
This week, YouBloomLA, the music summit and festival, is happening Thursday-Saturday. Come for the informative music chat, stay for the live music at various locations around town. For more info: http://www.youbloom.com/youbloomla-2017/#sp
