I’m in San Francisco this week celebrating something I love almost as much as live music- Cardinal’s baseball! Between San Fran and LA, it’ll be seven games in as many days, but I’m hoping to end the week at the Hotel Cafe for Kill the Alarm, one of my favorite artists from college who is making a rare LA appearance. This week also features the begging of a can’t miss Garrison Starr residency, Irish rockers, The Academic, and a new band from The All-American Reject’s Tyson Ritter (Now More Than Ever).
