Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 2/24-3/2

Posted on February 23, 2014 by Kristen

The Olympics are ending. The two weeks had their share of triumphs and disappointments, but I’m going to miss watching Curling while eating breakfast, getting incomprehensibly invested in any kind of biathlon or cross-country event, and of course, everything figure skating/ice dancing, especially if it involved my new favorite duo of Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski.

Next up, Oscars week! I still am woefully behind on the nominated films, but I did manage to catch the animated and live action shorts this weekend, so I’m ready with my picks there.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 2/17-2/23

Posted on February 16, 2014 by Kristen

This weekend has been full of excitement. Friday night’s Biffy Clyro show got a bit intense, but it was worth it to see my rocking Scots finally back in LA. I’ve also got a bit of Olympics fever. I’ve watched a little of everything, but that shoot-out from the Russia vs. US hockey game was probably the most thrilling. On top of all that, there are a couple of small dogs running around the apartment, providing an excellent excuse for long walks and rolling around on the floor.

I don’t have so much a show pick this week as I do a venue pick. The Hotel Cafe any night next week will hold at least one act that I absolutely adore. What do I have to do to get a week-long venue pass?

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 2/10-2/16

Posted on February 9, 2014 by Kristen

Last night’s Queen Caveat EP release event was nothing short of epic. I haven’t been to as many shows this year, but somehow I’ve managed to see a fair number of my favorite bands including Queen Caveat, The Silent Comedy, Moon Taxi, Imagine Dragons, Dear Boy, Truth & Salvage Co. (if you count their Tuesday evening online gatherings) and Irontom. Speaking of favorites, this week’s schedule really packs them in. My show list reads a bit like a list of my top artists of 2013. We’ve got Irish brothers Hudson Taylor (lead off track of my 2013 mix), my dream combo of Irontom and Meg Myers, Augustines (their new album is worth the wait), Sir Sly, and Biffy Clyro (!!!) making their first LA appearance in over a year.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 1/27-2/2

Posted on January 26, 2014 by Kristen

I spent some time at NAMM this weekend. It was my first NAMM experience, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’ve concluded that NAMM is just a big networking event. I had a great time running into old friends and making new ones. I also caught some exciting showcases, picked up some ear plugs to try, and saw many a snazzy guitar, drum, microphone, etc. It was all quite exhausting and my feet are ready to go sit at a desk all next week. Except, of course, for the evenings when we have some fun musical options. Most of my top picks are on Monday. Good luck deciding between Zane Carney at The Hotel Cafe, Vanaprasta’s last residency show with Dear Boy, Andrew Ripp at Bardot, and another excellent round of singer-songwriters at Room 5 for the Monday Monday event.

Last week I finally got to a show in 2014. Moon Taxi at The Troubadour. They made me dance. I am now excited about life again.

Today I’m heading down to San Diego to see The Silent Comedy, Deadly Birds, and The Heavy Guilt at The Casbah, so that’s a good sign. A couple favorite bands at my favorite San Diego venue. I’m very thankful that Monday is a holiday.
