Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 3/18-3/24

It’s a big week for me, celebrating a big birthday. In the story of my life, it could be very easy to look back on this time and this birthday as a low point so I am attempting to re-write the narrative and will be spending the week seeing the bands I most want to see…in England! King No-One, Twin Atlantic, and The Virginmarys – here I come!

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 2/26-3/3

Life has been a bit overwhelming lately and it was recently pointed out to me that I hadn’t taken a day off this year, so I did my best this weekend to not put any pressure on myself to do…anything. Having 9 hours of Spring Training baseball to watch certainly helped in this endeavor.

I hope to jump back into the fray tomorrow, motivated by a mid-week treat in the form of UK artists, Freya Ridings and Benedict Cork, playing The Hotel Cafe Wednesday night. Freya and her livestreams were a staple of my pandemic times and this week is the first of her residency shows while she is in LA. Benedict grabbed my attention and quickly stole my heart when I saw him open for Tors in London last year.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 2/5-2/11

The last few days have felt like a game of peek-a-boo with the rain, walking out of venues to fresh puddles but managing to avoid any significant wetness. This trend has decidedly ended today, and it looks like an umbrella will be the must have accessory into the start of next week. I won’t let the rain stop me from trekking out to the Hotel Cafe for several momentous occasions including new music celebrations with Katelyn Tarver and Morgxn as well as the first (of what feels like more) Kongregation events hosted the spiritual outlaw himself, Kong.
