I danced and sang amidst some great crowds last week. I was particularly impressed with the crowd for Chicago’s Friday Pilots Club. The show gave me a great excuse to revisit one of my top 2024 albums, Nowhere, and really acknowledge how far the band has come since the first time I saw them in the same space back in 2019.

Next week we have another opportunity to see new band love, Blame My Youth, Kids in America return to the Hotel Cafe, and Windser hosts a record release event.

It’s been a solid week(ish) for new music releases. Songs off HIMALAYAS’ BAD STAR have been creeping their way into my playlists as the singles have dropped but now we have a glorious 38min 15sec rock and roller coaster. Then pink-haired “Good Bi” Beth McCarthy gets messy in her Hot and Stupid EP/era (check out “Hurting My Own Feelings”).

Celebrated new music from The Wrecks last week with an acoustic set in a bookstore. People keep trying to pair live music and comedy, but I think live music + books is a much more enjoyable combo. The band’s half album, aptly titled Inside, gives us five introspective songs that, while sonically smaller than their indie rock bangers, fit perfectly with the ethos of the band. Personally, I’ve got “I Didn’t Used To” on repeat. The mini-set was a fabulous teaser for their upcoming tour which comes to LA end of May (at The Wiltern).   

As for what’s next, we’ve got two chances to see Blame My Youth, Medium Build brings his magic to the El Rey, guitar goddess Emily Wolfe shows off her skills at the Gibson Room, and more:

Monday: Blame My Youth at Genghis Cohen (7pm)
ALSO: Monday Monday at the Hotel Cafe second stage (8pm)

Tuesday: Lola Young w/ Bob Vylan at the Fonda (7:30)
ALSO: Lucas Flood presents “Not Another Showcase” at the Hotel Cafe (7pm)
ALSO: WFNM Showcase FREE at Hotel Ziggy (7pm)
ALSO: Open Folk at the Hotel Cafe second stage (9pm)
ALSO: Soft Spot Songwriter Night FREE at Desert 5 Spot (7pm)

Weds: Emily Wolfe FREE at the Gibson Room (8pm)
ALSO: Blame My Youth FREE at the Goldfish (8pm)
ALSO: Ider at the Echo (7pm)
ALSO: WFNM Showcase FREE at Hotel Ziggy (7pm)

The Unlikely Candidates’ recent single “Fingers Crossed” is not a new song.  It’s been a crowd-pleaser at the live show for over 5 years and now, finally, the aural gem is available to stream on repeat…and stream on repeat I have! Where these Texan rockers really shine is connecting with their listeners both in the live performance as well as their lyrics. “I need some hope. Something to believe in…” is exactly what I want to be screaming at a show right now. Fortunately, TUC is on a little tour hitting LA Monday night at the Echo.

Last week was a wonderful emotional/musical boost full of magical moments.  There was Canadia rockers, daysormay, ending an already rousing set with an explosive Beastie Boys cover, Barns Courtney’s intimate acoustic set stage dive, Milk Carton Kids sharing the stage with Kenneth’s dog and elevating their hit “Michigan” with an assist from Madison Cunningham, getting to know Vienna Vienna at their soundcheck, Mitchy Collins (lovelytheband) demonstrating his songwriter prowess with new solo material at The Hotel Cafe, and watching a terminator sing along to Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars.”

I’m not entirely sure where to go from there, but next week we’ve got potential with SXSW ’25 selection Twin Shadow playing two nights at the Bansdall Gallery Theatre, brothers Raffoul (Billy and Peter) at The Peppermint Club, and Grace Cummings’ return to Gold-Diggers (her last show there left the entire room transfixed).
