Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 10/26-11/1

The first round of SXSW 2016 attending artists was released last week. I was overjoyed to begin my annual spreadsheet. I already have a small handful of artists I’m looking forward to checking out.  Sometimes I think I live only for a single week in March…

My top pick is the too good to believe combination of AWOLNATION, Meg Myers, and Irontom at The Fox Theater in Pomona Friday night.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 10/19-10/25

I had the pleasure of seeing Hozier perform last night for The Artist’s Den and I’ve been obsessively listening to his music all weekend. Talk about soothing for the soul! When I first heard that I had gotten into the performance there was a bit of a panic as I had made plans that night to see the triumphant return of UK’s A Silent Film to The Troubadour. One of my favorite music buddies came to the rescue when she suggested I join her earlier in the week on her trip to SD to see A Silent Film at The Casbah. Problem solved! It was a very eventful trip and I am glad everything worked out so well.

This week might involve more fancy footwork, especially Wednesday night when I hope to catch Frank Turner at The Musician’s Institute followed by San Diego’s Mrs. Henry at Harvard & Stone. My other show pick this week is Thursday night: The Royal Concept with Parade of Lights (!!) at Club Bahia. I have yet to get to this venue so I look forward to checking it out.

This week’s concert calendar is brought to you by season 4 of The X-Files. After all of the hullabaloo over The X-Files reboot at Comic Con NY, I felt the urge to watch a few old episodes.  I am quite jealous over the people who got an advance preview, but am excited that the reviews are generally positive. Is it January yet?

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 10/5-10/11

Last week was near perfect musically-speaking. I saw some great acts for the first time (Evvy, Hollis Brown), caught a few favorites (Joe Pug, Keaton Simons, The Milk Carton Kids), and was taken back about a decade when I discovered Colin Smith (Mr. North, Colin Smith) has a new rock band called Hundred Hounds. Oh, and I hopped in a van with Jamie N Commons et al and headed to San Francisco to see them play (again) at The Fillmore, experiencing an amazing little slice of tour life (complete with multiple vehicle breakdowns).  I’m currently watching Mrs. Doubtfire in honor of my brief time in SF.

I’m not sure that can be topped, but this week we’ve got Dear Boy opening for The Maccabees, Badflower at The Viper Room, and one of my very favorite events, The Culture Collide Music Festival.
