It’s been an intense couple of weeks from Riot Fest in Chicago and now heading to Frank Turner’s Lost Evenings in Anaheim (with some San Diego-based baseball in between). I finally managed to get to the new Bellwether venue downtown, twice last week including for the grand return of Nico Vega! My big Bellwether tip is to get there early if you don’t want to pay for parking. They will let a limited number of folks into the restaurant 30 minutes before doors where you can sit and relax before being let into the venue a few minutes early. My other tip is to get to the Lodge Room website and grab a ticket for the next Nico Vega show, a headline event December 6^th!

I thought I had lucked into tickets to see Beck and Phoenix last week until I found out that they couldn’t give tickets away to that show because people didn’t want to brave the prophesized traffic nightmare caused by the Taylor Swift concert taking place next door. Turns out, traffic wasn’t bad at all (when you arrived early and parked a mile away), the show was quite fun (highlighted by Phoenix dancing around to tunes from my favorite of their albums, Alphabetical), and watching the Taylor Swift sparkle parade navigating the streets of Inglewood was valid pre-show entertainment.

Coming up, we’ve got some great singer-songwriters including Annabel Lee for Beck Pete’s residency, Hayley Warner and more singing at Jesse & Friends, and Tegan & Sara at the Bellweather Monday night.

I’ve been driving around listening to Andrew McMahon full blast on the stereo, inspired by another riveting performance at the Sad Summer Festival where he surfed the audience on an inflatable llama, brought out the “Synesthesia” parachute, and featured his daughter Cecilia on her eponymous hit.  Although Andrew’s newest album, Tilt At The Wind No More, might be one of my favorites from his catalogue, the set highlight for me was Something Corporate oldie, “Hurricane”. Those SC songs will always strike an emotional chord.  

We’ve got some special shows next week including two nights of Local Natives at the Ford, a Candlelight concert from LeAnn Rimes, the return of Ernie Halter to the Hotel Cafe and a free show featuring American Authors and Young Rising Sons at Frogtown Brewery.
