Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 10/9-10/15
Last night I saw band love, Nothing But Thieves, for the first time in about 5 years and I walked away with two primary thoughts; 1 – Rock bands are always better live and 2 – Nothing But Thieves have become too big for me. This provokes contradictory impulses as I want to see the band live again (and again, and again), but I don’t want to walk away disappointed from an over-large venue/crowd and setlist that neglects most of the songs I want to hear. I’m still struggling to land on an emotion as both elation and disappointment pop up in equal measure.
Onto the next I suppose. And by next I mean the long list of promising shows I’ve concocted for next week which include Dead Poet Society, Joe Pug, and the return of another favorite, Nickle Creek who are playing two nights at the Ace Theater downtown.
