Last week was very much an I Love LA kind of week. There was the opportunity to see The Record Company play at The Troubadour (still wrapping my mind around the fact that it was the band’s first time playing that venue), the crazy Hollywood event celebrating the music of Bones, the packed club where I saw Matt Maeson for the third time in two months, and the premiere of the Sense8 finale which included a surprise sing-along of the 4 Non Blonde’s “What’s Up” featuring Linda Perry herself. I can’t imagine all of that being possible in many other cities…
Next week, the LA fun continues with the arrival of Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls and a special High Voltage sponsored game night Monday at Scum & Villainy Cantina in Hollywood.
