Happy 2018! I know 2017 wasn’t the best year for everyone, but I think I made out okay.  It was a year for a new job, new friends, and new adventures including two trips to Europe, a baseball game in St. Louis, and two out of town music festivals!  I’m still working on my 2017 Music Mix, but it was a fairly decent year for music.  2017 marked the discovery of favorite bands like Picture This and Sur, the resurgence of Sir Sly, the continuing growth of Irontom, a reunion for Jealousy Curve, new albums for Barnes Courtney and Nothing But Thieves, the grand debut of Mondo Cozmo, and a very long list of amazing shows.  I think, however, that my band of the year is probably The Wrecks who I believe will dominate in 2018 when they (hopefully and finally) release an album…or at least more than three songs…

I’m not sure what my first show of 2018 will be but we have a few options next week. I’ve got my eyes on Lewis Capaldi at Moroccan Lounge…we shall see!

When you are sick enough that an afternoon run to Staples for office supplies proves a challenge, I suppose nighttime rock show is off the table. At least that’s what I’m telling myself as I think about all of my friends gathering at The Troubadour tonight for Dead Sara madness as I sit at home organizing binder tabs.  Headbanging and headaches are not the best combination!

We’ve got one more week of shows before the Christmas drought (AKA week of movie-watching), so I hope I can get out to enjoy it. I’m particularly looking forward to another Creepshow at the Hotel Cafe Thursday night. Line-up hasn’t been announced, but a Creepshow has never left me disappointed.

ALSO: A Very Sona Christmas f. Dan Wilson at The Hotel Cafe (7pm)
ALSO: WASI residency at The Hi Hat (8pm)
ALSO: Mollie Jane, Christina LaRocca at The Hotel Cafe second stage (7, 8)

 

Weds: The Cordovas, Lost Beach at Saint Rocke (8pm)
ALSO: King Daniel and Friends at The Hotel Cafe second stage (7pm)
ALSO: Pacific Radio at Boardners (9pm)
ALSO: Barry Mannilow at The Forum (7:30)

This week has felt disorienting. Perhaps it has something to do with all of the fires putting everyone a bit on edge. It’s also been a week full of last minute plan changes and if you haven’t guessed it by now, I can tell you that I thrive on a good plan. Speaking of good plans, this week’s musical blueprint shows great potential.  The holiday show season is in full swing.
