Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 6/23-6/29

My week took a bit of a turn when I sprained my ankle getting out of my car and ended up unable to walk (or drive) without pain. Laid up, I found myself diving into new music from Yungblood, Badflower, Grandson, JC Stewart, Jade Bird, Young Rising Sons…and getting into ALL of it!

I’d also like to give a shoutout to band love, Dear Boy who seem to be gearing up for a new album with their newly released single, “Kelly Green.” Check out the video!

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 6/9-6/15

A pop-up Grandson benefit show at El Cid last week was the vibe of the year. Grandson has a way of taking the frustrations of the world and morphing them (via music and moshing) into both positive feels and actions. The small club show was a nod to the past as well as a remonstration of the present and preparation for the future where the band will be opening for Linkin Park in Europe. He debuted a few new tunes, including recent single, “Brainrot” and my oh my, we have some bangers to put in the protest playlist.  

Show crowds felt a bit light over the weekend possibly due to the LA protests, but for me, there is no place I’d rather be to come together as a community. Here are some of my choice opportunity for a connect this week:

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 6/2-6/8

I was blown away by the response to The Wrecks this weekend at the Wiltern. The band has come a long way in the last decade and to see a room that large full of love and dancing was quite remarkable…I think everyone got a bit teary-eyed. The entire evening felt like a turning point for my beloved band and I can’t wait to see where they go from here!

As for where I’m going, out to find a new rock band to follow around I suppose.  I’ve got high hopes for Bruvvy who play Gold-Diggers Saturday night, but show pick of the week goes to Arizona songsmith Wheelwright, in town coming off a recently released new album that must be heard live.
