Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 12/9-12/15

I have the voice of Ben Gibbard swimming in my ears after attending a wonderful End of Year Bash sponsored by 88.5FM. My only quibble is that Ben did not play Death Cab for Cutie’s “The New Year” at a turn of the year event. Openers Trousdale mentioned they would be a special guest at Ben Abraham’s Christmas Special tonight so that’s where I’ll be, soaking up more delicious harmonies.

Next week is full of promising musical adventures including Donna Missal, Holdfast and a reunion show with The Matches…

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 10/28-11/3

I was at a show on Friday waiting for the headliner to take the stage when the whole room erupted into cheers. The stage was still empty so it took me a minute to figure out that enough people in the room were paying attention to the baseball game on their phones that when the Dodgers won, it caused a massive group moment.
