Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 6/9-6/15
A pop-up Grandson benefit show at El Cid last week was the vibe of the year. Grandson has a way of taking the frustrations of the world and morphing them (via music and moshing) into both positive feels and actions. The small club show was a nod to the past as well as a remonstration of the present and preparation for the future where the band will be opening for Linkin Park in Europe. He debuted a few new tunes, including recent single, “Brainrot” and my oh my, we have some bangers to put in the protest playlist.
Show crowds felt a bit light over the weekend possibly due to the LA protests, but for me, there is no place I’d rather be to come together as a community. Here are some of my choice opportunity for a connect this week:
