Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 11/8-11/14

I started an audio book this week that is over 40 hours long (typically audio books are 8-12 hours, really long ones being up to 20-25hrs). This length wouldn’t be an issue except it’s a library rental with a time limit. I’ve decided that in order to finish the book before it is due, I need to listen at 2x speed. So, if I start talking really fast this next week or so, let’s just blame the book.

What’s really made a dent in the 40 hours is a quick trip to San Diego today to see The Silent Comedy at the Outriders Music Festival. The Silent Comedy will be followed by Colony House at Belly Up, a band so good live, I’ll see them twice on this tour!

Next week we have an overwhelming number of shows and artists to see. From favorites like Foy Vance, Reignwolf, David Ramirez, Valley and Boston Manor to a slew of acts on my list to check out (Betcha, Pelch, gavn!, Birdtalker)…some difficult decisions to be made…

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 11/1-11/7

It’s been a few days since I’ve been out for music and I feel very tempted to go to a show this evening, knowing it’s not really the best idea. The nail in the coffin of this notion is that I am staying at a friend’s place and wouldn’t be able to find easy parking when I got back late.  I feel like I’d have a very different life if I had to rely on street parking in Los Angeles. Today, I am extra grateful for my reserved parking space!   

Since I’ve been staying in more this week, I’ve had time to dig into new music releases from TRISHES, Wolf Alice, Joe P, The War on Drugs, and Biffy Clyro! Lots of good stuff, all deserving of a deeper dive.

Still forming my plans for next week, but they will certainly include Colony House (“O YA!!”)  and any number of the following:

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 10/25-10/31

Saturday was a blast from the past at Chain Fest, a day featuring some of the great pop/punk bands from my earlier life including the recently resurrected The Summer Set, Mayday Parade playing songs off 2007’s A Lesson in Romantics, and staples from the soundtrack of my youth from Anberlin and Jimmy Eat World. The best part of the event was the seat location, close enough to provide a great view but also allowing me to dance from a seated position (I suffered zero foot, knee or back issues at the end of 8 hours of music)!  Several of the bands vocalized respect for the seated dancing move and my appreciation grew for bands that age along with their fans. The experience felt in severe contrast to other shows I attended last week *cough*Alexander 23*cough*

Next week we have a stacked Monday night highlighted by a TRISHES album release party at the Hotel Cafe, a week of Wolf Alice events, and several Halloween show opportunities (I’ll be spending the holiday weekend hiding out with a couple of dogs who will NOT be put in costume).

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 10/11-10/17

I made it to 8 gigs last week (!!) culminating in a Dead Sara: Dear Boy: Dead Sara show sandwich. Experiencing both “Hesitation Waltz” and “Weatherman” in the same night took the evening to an epic status not achieved in quite some time. Last week in general was the kind of week my music-loving heart dreams of. I was able to hear songs live for the first time from so many great artists.  The coolest night was an album release event for Upsahl’s Lady Jesus where we got the entire album live just as it was being released into the world. BEST way to experience an album for the first time, especially one that is such a bopper!  

The trend of celebrating new albums continues next week as Badflower returns to LA a few weeks after releasing This is How The World Ends. Can’t wait!

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 9/27-10/3

Last week was full of great live music, catching up with more friends and watching a lot of winning baseball (my team is on a historic 16 game win streak which will certainly carry them into October). This led into a weekend of listening to nothing but the new Badflower album, This is How The World Ends.

With last week’s return of a very jet-lagged Frank Turner, it feels like maybe the country is starting to let in international artists again. This would be incredibly exciting as my list of UK artists I need to see after discovery via livestreams feels quite long and continues to grow with the ongoing weekly Scruff of the Neck stream on Twitch.

Another of my favorite Twitch streamers, Sydney Sprague, is coming to LA this week opening for The Front Bottoms at The Fonda. We also have opportunities to see Glen Hansard, Carbon Leaf, a venue tour from twenty one pilots, and so much more:
