Posted on July 10, 2016 by Kristen

Taking a much needed break today to get in on a bit of MLB All-Star action. The best in baseball are descending upon San Diego and although I won’t get to see the big game on Tuesday, I will get to check out The Futures Game which is followed by something you can’t see on TV, celebrity softball!

Musically, there is a lot of good stuff going on next week. The Valley Queen residency begins Monday night at The Bootleg, both Atlas Genius and BORNS are performing free shows and a couple festivals downtown add musical flavor to the weekend.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 6/27-7/3

Posted on June 26, 2016 by Kristen

When I’m not going out for music, I spend quite a bit (read: all) of my time in front of my computer. I worked overtime last week to get a couple papers off my desk so yesterday I decided I would take a day AFK so to speak. I particularly enjoyed some computer-free time glued to a book I’ve been reading that, somewhat ironically, takes place in a world where people live most of their lives plugged into a virtual reality system. I guess I never got too far away from living via technologies…I tried!

Next week’s musical highlights includes a couple UK faves, up and comers (and not to be missed) The Hunna and Leogun frontman Tommy Smith!

I spent a very large part of my weekend outdoors and if you’re in Southern California, you might imagine how I feel right now…I’m not sure I can move from the floor of my non air-conditioned room.

In way cooler news, I hope everyone has checked their Ticketmaster accounts to find it full of free ticket vouchers. I’ve got quite a few but of course the shows I really wanted to use them for are ineligible. Hopefully this will change at some point.

I’m about to do something which I rarely do and that’s get in my car and drive somewhere on a Sunday, a day I usually reserve for mentally and physically preparing for the upcoming week. This whole week has been a bit off kilter (in a good way) so I suppose it’s only fitting.

SO much to report for next week, so I’ll just jump to that…

Firstly, one of my best concert buddies, Theresa will be in town. We have quite the agenda put together, but her trip revolves around an event she is working Thursday night with SPRAYGUN WAR (Buckcherry side project) who will be throwing an EP release party (check out Theresa’s snazzy press release: https://www.prlog.org/12561069-spraygun-war-debuts-at-forgotten-saints-la.html).

Secondly, I know Saturday is a packed music day, but if you have the time, I’d recommend stopping by NoHo PAC 2-4pm to celebrate the official launch of the non-profit, Music Is Power. LMN has been a longtime supporter of our friend Ashley and her efforts to combine her skills as a therapist and love of music to make a positive difference on the world and we are very excited to see her take this next step forward. Come see what it’s all about. There will be live music! https://www.facebook.com/events/260343284309760/
