Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 9/17-9/23

Posted on September 16, 2018 by Kristen

After a big week of TV previews at The Paley Center, I’m ready to dive back in with some good music. I’m off to a big start today in San Diego at the Kaaboo music festival! I feel like I’m most looking forward to seeing Jewel who is definitely on that list of artists I’ve listened to obsessively but have never seen. I’ll also be rocking out with Vista Kicks and The All-American Rejects. Still not sure what I’m going to do about the headliner situation (Katy Perry vs. Robert Plant). We’ll see where my mood takes me!

Playing the rest of the week by ear as well, but out of town faves like NEEDTOBREATHE, Carbon Leaf, and Lincoln Durham all make compelling offers.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 8/20-8/26

Posted on August 19, 2018 by Kristen

I have discovered something more uncomfortable than sitting in an unairconditioned room trying to work all day…sitting in said unairconditioned room trying to work while you are running a fever! Needless to say, my day has not gone as planned. Yesterday, however, I did my due diligence catching over 20 bands at Echo Park Rising. It was nice to see so many local faves, but I was mostly excited about discovering new acts like Foxes & Lions, New American, Lucy & La Mer, and Hey Hey which is not a band, but a tea shop turned venue that was by far the most enjoyable place to be with its comfy seats and boba tea bar.

Next week is a short one for me as I am taking off Thursday night for a long weekend in Denver. My baseball team is also in town, so I’m thinking my Monday, Tuesday, and Weds nights might be spent at Dodger Stadium rather than a concert hall or club. If anyone fancies a ballgame, let me know!

Meanwhile, tons of great music to check out. I’m particularly sad about missing out on a great night of rock Thursday at The Satellite and one of my favorites, Jared & The Mill, playing with Lydia Saturday night at The Troubadour. Someone better go in my stead.

Posted on August 12, 2018 by Kristen

I’m escaping the heat this weekend down in San Diego…although last night’s show at The Northpark Observatory left me a sweaty hot mess. I guess that’s what you get when you combine Moon Taxi with The Struts! Today, I’m heading back to LA with a pit stop in Long Beach for 98.7’s summer camp where I’m most excited to see Judah & The Lion, Sir Sly, and AJR! Hopefully there will be shade.
