Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 6/15-6/21

Posted on by Amanda

I’m home! And I brought a cold with me… It was probably from all the airline travel. Or maybe the drastic weather changes from drizzly SF to super hot Vegas. Or maybe my body just won’t let me have nice things without consequences. Haha. Either way, the first half of my Neon Trees vacation was an absolute blast with an unexpected show at the YouTube space in LA for What’s Trending. They brought in bits from CBGB including the bar, the walls, and the awning and that was the set for the performance. If you want to see the performance, it’s here.

I somehow messed up my sleep system and it’s been harder and harder to wake up at 8am and get to sleep before 2am. There’s also some afternoon napping happening as well. I’m blaming my day at California Adventure on Friday. I mean, I was kind of slipping in this direction but now I’m here. Time to rest the body clock. Ugh.

Well, last week was a good one. I made it out to a few things including a quick trip up to LA and back. This week is a little more mellow for me. I will say, I went to The Merrow last night and I hadn’t been there since it changed over from Ruby Room and I was super impressed. It’s got a cool vibe and the space has been upgraded and most importantly, the sound has too. If there’s a show over there and you’re on the fence about it, it’s worth it.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar 5/18-5/24

Posted on by Amanda

I’m in the midst of East Coast travels. I was in DC most of last week and today I took a bus to Philadelphia to meet up with my mom to celebrate her birthday. The restaurant she chose was close to several of my old favorite concert venues so we walked around and I touched base with places like the TLA and Tin Angel. Tomorrow, the only thing on my agenda is to eat my favorite sandwich. I was hoping to find a good Monday night show, but most cities don’t have happening Mondays like Los Angeles.

Speaking of, tomorrow in LA is jam packed with great show options. The music continues throughout the week. The Grammy Museum is hosting two of my faves, The Milk Carton Kids and Dead Sara. Those will both be amazing in very very different ways. Also, one of my High Voltage On The Rise picks, Prides, are at The Echo Wednesday night.
