Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 10/14-10/20

Posted on by Kristen

I hope everyone was able to make it out to Culture Collide this past week. The energy at that festival is amazing. I was only able to go Friday night, but I packed in as much as I could. My favorite sets would have to go to The Silent Comedy (of course), Kid Karate, and Like Swimming but I have a list of bands now to look into a bit further.

As for next week, The Mint is the place to be with solid lineups both Wednesday and Saturday nights. Wednesday, I am beyond excited to finally see Nashville’s bluesy-rockers, The Delta Saints who have not been in LA since the release of their fantastic album, Death Letter Jubilee. Then on Saturday, Portland favorite, Rags & Ribbons are back in town with their mesmerizing piano rock.

Well, Rocktober is indeed upon us. It would be quite easy to do a show a night all month long and not hit a weak one in the bunch.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 9/16-9/22

Posted on by Kristen

I’ve been out of town all week, visiting friends and family on the east coast. It’s been great but I’m exhausted. I haven’t really had access to the computer or internet so that’s been different. Yesterday, I was in Philadelphia. I ate my favorite sandwich, played with a menagerie of animals (cats, dogs, rabbits, turtle…), met up with so many of my old concert buddies, and saw three of my favorite bands. The impetus for the trip was a reunion show for the band Jealousy Curve, a group that changed my life back in college. Seeing them take the stage once again made me heart happy and oh so nostalgic as this band pretty much marked the epitome of certain time in my life.  An added bonus was that the band played with another Philly-fave, Silvertide. It was an epic rock show. And because sometimes life does work out in one’s favor, I was able to catch a pre-show performance from Alright, Junior, another band that is near and dear to my heart. Add in my Thursday night when I got to see two Pawnshop Roses play some old and new tunes, and I pretty much got a taste of all my favorite Philadelphia bands!

This AM, I woke up in pastoral Maryland. Due to the fact that I didn’t see a bed until after 5am, I’m a little foggy…we used to call it the concert hangover. I’ll be back in LA mid-week, but I haven’t yet put much thought into that. Still, I do what I can to help you all in your concert planning…here’s my list:

New Music Tuesday 9/3/13 Featuring Bastille, The 1975, The Griswolds

Posted on by Kristen

Well, here’s what I’ve got on my radar this week…

Bastille – Bad Blood 

The record has been out for some time overseas, but this week it was finally released in the US and I adore this band and album, so I thought I’d mention it again. It went up to number 2 on the iTunes album chart so I guess I’m not the only one. I’ve been enjoying Bastille in whatever bits I could get my hands on, but now I’m thrilled that I can finally digest the album in its entirety! From more well-known songs like “Laura Palmer” and “Things
Lost in the Fire” to the deeper cuts I wasn’t as familiar with (currently loving bonus track, “The Silence”), I’d say this is one of those albums to listen to front to back on repeat.

The 1975 – The 1975

I am very back and forth on this album from these buzzy indie rockers from Manchester. My ups and downs with the band go back to my first viewing at SXSW which didn’t leave me with the best impression. Then I slowly came back around after hearing some recordings. The first time I listened to this album, I was dancing around the room, but by the end of it, I was bored with its “sameness”. I think I appreciate this band and album most in moderation. I took my favorite tracks (“Sex”, “Chocolate”, “The City”) and put them in their own playlist and now I can’t stop listening. Take from that what you will…

The Griswolds – Heart
of a Lion EP

Fun dance rock from an up and coming Aussie group. You can listen to the EP on bandcamp. I think these 4 songs are a taste of great things to come. I denote The Griswolds a band to watch!


Also:

  • Over the Rhine – Meet Me At The Edge of the World
  • Nine Inch Nails – Hesitation Marks
  • Neko Case – The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You
  • Okkervil River – The Silver Gymnasium
  • North Mississippi Allstars – World Boogie is Coming
  • RDGLDGRN – Red Gold Green
  • Ed Roland And The Sweet Tea Project – Devils ‘n Darlins
  • Frank Turner – Losing Days EP
