It feels very odd to be walking around in a t-shirt after weeks bundled up and prepared for the rain, but here I am. I really must be back in Los Angeles. That is going to take a minute to sink in. Last week’s UK trip was definitely a success. Highlights include hiking Arthur’s Seat, a successful quest for sticky toffee pudding, and introducing The Virginmarys to bubble tea (what they call boba over there). I also discovered a few promising local bands like Polar States, Wild Front, and Jaws. Of all the cities I visited, the best music scene (by far) was Manchester. All the venues (I went to 4) were solid and you’ve got to love a city that offers multiple choice show options on a Monday night.
Speaking of multiple options on a Monday night, I present to you this week’s LA musical options.
