Dancing shoes were activated last night at the Moroccan Lounge when Bristol’s The Ramona Flowers played the entirety of their latest album, Made by Humans. The crowd was small, but connected as the set continued on towards the midnight hour. It was one of those nights when the music transported you out of time and space. Openers, The Lucky were also a delightful new add to my LA band watch list.  

Thinking about next week, I’ve got my eyes on the always stellar Coffee Shop Arena Rock night at the Hotel Cafe, The Classic Crime making a rare LA appearance opening for Emery, and Irish band Somebody’s Child near the end of their North American tour…
