I made it to 8 gigs last week (!!) culminating in a Dead Sara: Dear Boy: Dead Sara show sandwich. Experiencing both “Hesitation Waltz” and “Weatherman” in the same night took the evening to an epic status not achieved in quite some time. Last week in general was the kind of week my music-loving heart dreams of. I was able to hear songs live for the first time from so many great artists.  The coolest night was an album release event for Upsahl’s Lady Jesus where we got the entire album live just as it was being released into the world. BEST way to experience an album for the first time, especially one that is such a bopper!  

The trend of celebrating new albums continues next week as Badflower returns to LA a few weeks after releasing This is How The World Ends. Can’t wait!
