I am supposed to be at Bootleg right now getting ready for KidEyes to take the stage, but I woke up this morning with a fever so calling it an early night in. Hoping to be better by Tuesday so I can find a way to see Dido at The Wiltern. Fun Fact: Dido was my first pop concert! Back in high school, my dad drove a friend and I two and a half hours (one way) so I could go to my first proper show. No wonder traveling for music seems an obvious option for me.

I wish people would put warning labels on food that contained onions.  Twice today I’ve had meals ruined, having to read the tiny print ingredient list to find the offending culprit.  Granola and yogurt for dinner it is!

Trivial complaint aside, it’s shaping up to be another great week for music. More UK fare from Sports Team, Yungblud, and Saint PHNX, rockin’ times at The Troubadour with Jamestown Revival and Houndmouth, and another chance to see band love, KidEyes, Sunday night at Bootleg.  And that’s just the start…

This week’s concert calendar is brought to you by the soundtrack of a film, Balance, Not Symmetry.  The film will premiere later this month at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. The soundtrack is entirely Biffy Clyro. That’s right, we’ve basically got a new Biffy Clyro album!  This past week was one of those put on the headphones and blast the very loud and aggressive music kind of week which is how I happily stumbled upon this new offering from my favorite Scottish trio.
