This past week was just a blur. This could have something to do with the 16 bands I ended up seeing (most of which were new to me). Or perhaps I’ll attribute it to my intense week at work preparing for a big conference I’m going to next week. The mental fog that I’m currently sitting in, however, is most likely due to lack of sleep and the sheer exhaustion brought about by the previous two activities in combination.

As for next week, I’ll largely be out of town, but there are plenty of great shows for you! My show pick is Neulore at The Hotel Cafe on Tuesday. I met this Nashville-based band at SXSW, and have wanted to see them play ever since. Listen to their song, “Shadow of a Man” and you’ll hear why.

I am particularly grateful for Daylight Savings this year. Last night’s epic Dead Sara show at The Viper room left me completely spent, emotionally and physically. It took me a bit this morning to even begin to emerge from the post show haze. That extra hour of sleep was necessary!

Next week holds a treasure trove of musical talent. Fantastic residencies, 2014 discovers Penny & Sparrow, and The Lewis Watson rescheduled show to name a few. Show pick of the week, however, goes to The Kin who are coming to The Bootleg Friday night. This is a can’t miss!

Culture Collide is coming! This festival, based in the Echo Park area and with an emphasis on international bands, is one of my favorites. It’s always a good vibe and I usually walk away with a new band or two to add to my “must see” list. I have yet to listen to all of the bands, but SXSW pick We Met Tomorrow are playing several sets and I hope to make all of them!

Otherwise, we’ve got another great week of music ahead.

This week, I found myself at a most thrilling baseball game. It was Cardinals/Dodgers and although I have nothing against The Dodgers, The Cardinals are my team and this particular game ended in my team’s favor. I went to the game with someone who knows a lot more about sports than I do and we had an interesting conversation comparing and contrasting the athletic industry with the music industry. One observation discussed was that in sports, the most talented players tend to actually get to the top, whereas the most talented musicians often remain in obscurity while lesser quality players rise due to other, qualities like personality, marketing, connections, etc.

Something to think about…
