The Royston Club make what I think is their LA debut this week. Unfortunately, they are opening at crypto.com arena and as much as I want to see a UK fave grace an LA stage, with a 20K capacity, this is not my stage of choice. We’ve got plenty of other options Thursday night including Sydney Sprague at the Echo, Liam Finn at Permanent Records and a great School Night showcase at the Airliner. So I’ll be listening to Shaking Hips and Crashing Cars as I bop from show to show over a very busy mid-week of music.
Here’s what I’m thinking:
