Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 10/09-10/15

Posted on October 8, 2017 by Kristen.

You know it’s been far too long since you’ve seen an artist play when you’re at the show and they break out an “old tune” that you still consider to be one of the newer ones. That’s what happened to me Saturday night when I went to see Garen (AKA Kill The Alarm) at The Hotel Cafe. The whole experience was a blast from the past as Garen was a favorite from my college days. Thankfully, word on the street is that Garen will be moving to LA next year so hopefully my old vs new song classification will be more accurate in the near future.

We’ve got some tough choices to make next week, music-wise, mostly of the singer-songwriter vs. rock show variety. Wednesday night, however, is the last night of Zane Carney’s residency at Black Rabbit Rose before he heads off to Europe. Don’t miss out on that one.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar 10/2-10/8

Posted on October 1, 2017 by Kristen.

This weekend made my baseball-loving heart very happy. I was able to see one of the very last Cardinal’s games of the year…in St. Louis! Not only did they win, but it was done in an exciting come-back fashion. It was such a thrill to be rooting for the home team. On top of that, the game’s giveaway was a bobblehead of my favorite former player AND I finally got a replacement hat for the really disgusting one I wore out years ago (but still wear). My only quibble is with the merchandise selection. Why don’t they sell players jerseys or shirts in women’s sizes?!? After a painstaking internal debate, I had finally settled on the name I wanted only to go to the store to find that the smallest size available was rather tent-like.

In addition to all things baseball, my weekend was filled with family, steakburgers, and frozen custard (the other reasons I come to Missouri). But, as always, I am looking forward to getting back to LA, my mecca for musical adventures. Next week holds a few promising ones, including Friday night with The Arkells and Irontom at The Roxy. To tie it all together, I did wear an Irontom shirt to the baseball game and got several people to inquire about it. I’ll call that another win!

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 9/25-10/01

Posted on September 24, 2017 by Kristen.

I love the friends that I make by going to shows. This weekend, I had the pleasure of celebrating the marriage of two such friends. The wedding was in San Luis Obispo and the whole weekend felt a bit like a relaxing vacation. We drove up the PCH (what a view!), made it to a farmer’s market and a drive-in movie (my first!), and explored a bit of downtown SLO (including SloDoCo Donuts). The highlight, however, had to be going to the apple orchard in between the wedding ceremony and reception and picking apples from the trees in formalwear. The locals were very complimentary.

It’ll be a short music week for me as I’m taking off for another out of town adventure on Thursday, but I’ll be cramming in as many live tunes as possible before I leave including a very highly anticipated Mondo Cozmo show Tuesday night at The El Rey.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 9/18-9/24

Posted on September 17, 2017 by Kristen.

I was looking forward to finally having a weekend at home, but then a coworker offered me a pass to KAABOO in San Diego. I tried banging my head on my desk until a “no, thank you” came out of my mouth, but I found myself incapable of even mouthing the words so down to San Diego (again) I went. Yesterday, I rocked out with Garbage, Jared & The Mill, Armors, and Pink (!!) and today my schedule is highlighted by The Shadowboxers, The Cordovas, and Alanis Morrissette. I’m also having an absolute blast with my KAABOO-boos. I’ve never been to a festival with so many friends before…

A couple other things of note:

Have you heard the big radio news??? One of the best LA stations for discovering new music, KCSN (88.5) has merged with KSBR to extend the station’s broadcasting range (no more losing signal on those long drives!). Sky Daniels hosted a celebratory event Thursday at The Village Studios and I was incredibly privileged to attend. I poked around the historic studio space looking for evidence of Biffy Clyro before watching Gary Clark Jr. play his dirty rock version of The Beatles’ “Come Together” (and a few other tunes).

This week, YouBloomLA, the music summit and festival, is happening Thursday-Saturday. Come for the informative music chat, stay for the live music at various locations around town. For more info: http://www.youbloom.com/youbloomla-2017/#sp

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 9/11-9/17

Posted on September 10, 2017 by Kristen.

I’ve got “Golden” from Parade of Lights stuck in my head (I just returned from seeing them at The Echo). This makes it very difficult to sit and concentrate as I just want to get up and dance. This weekend was quite full of music that makes you move. Saturday, I was at the Indie Jam Festival in Oceanside which included the jaw-droppingly amazing lineup of The Wrecks, Dreamers, Magic Giant, Sir Sly, and Misterwives. I danced with them all!

Next week doesn’t really slow down in the body-grooving department. We’ve got The Wrecks playing School Night (if you haven’t seen these guys, this is the perfect opportunity), Stone Foxes at Bootleg, The Shadowboxers at The El Rey, and Frank Turner at The Orpheum. All I can say about this week is wear comfy shoes!

Here’s the rest of my suggestions:

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 9/4-9/10

Posted on September 3, 2017 by Kristen.

Happy Labor Day from San Diego! I can’t imagine a better way to spend the long weekend than with two doses of The Silent Comedy and a Cardinals/Padres baseball game…and air conditioning! Yesterday’s The Silent Comedy set took place at a Beer/Tequila festival. You know I love a band when I will brave an alcohol fest in 90+ degree weather. After the music, the weather cooled down and we wandered around downtown SD, caught a bit of a blues band, chatted with friends, and ate some delicious carnitas fries. It was a great night!
