In order to escape the brutal heat of last week, I escaped to the desert. I know that doesn’t make too much sense, but honestly the 100+ degrees of the desert is much more comfortable than the heat of my house in LA. Saturday was the Bite of Las Vegas festival where I got to see a number of great bands including NEEDTOBREATHE and Lifehouse (surprisingly, my first Lifehouse show). Today was a bit of an adventure through NV, AZ, and UT. I hiked a canyon, visited a ghost town, sampled bumbleberry pie, and witnessed a thunderstorm.  I always find this part of the country quite humbling.

Of course, whenever I step away from LA, I start aching to get back.  Where else can you see such great music every night of the week?  This week, I am most looking forward to Carbon Leaf playing The Mint Wednesday night.  These guys don’t get to LA that often, so don’t miss out.

Although not the original plan, I somehow ended up at The Palladium for the AWOLNATION show last night. As you might expect at any AWOL show, things got a bit crazy. My feet today are sore from all of the dancing. The real treat, however, was to see one of my favorite bands, Irontom, open up the show on such a big stage. I’m not sure how many times I’ve said it, but if you don’t know Irontom, you should really check them out. They will be going back on the road with AWOLNATION when that band returns from a little European tour.

Show pick this week goes to Nashville’s The Delta Saints who are playing The Mint on Tuesday along with Robert Jon & The Wreck and Roses and Cigarettes. Oh, and if anybody has an extra ticket to see Gary Lightbody at Largo on Saturday…
