Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 5/21-5/27

After a bit of an emotionally taxing week, Friday night found me at The Bootleg Bar for SUR and it was everything!  Celebrating one of my favorite band’s new EP, Savage Beast, involved dancing, friends, portraiture, lots of much needed hugs, and an opening act that was…well, I’m not exactly sure how to describe a set delivered by a mostly naked man that ended with him being carried off in some sort of stretcher, but that’s what happened.

I have a feeling I’m going to need a lot of music this week, so it’s good fortune that I’m off to the Moroccan Lounge for some Gang of Youths and then my week will start off with a Carney reunion (of sorts) and end in Napa at the BottleRock music festival.  Friends + music = life.
