Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 11/6-11/12

Posted on November 5 by Kristen

After a raucous week/month of shows resulting in some light crowd-induced injuries, this weekend offered a respite with the delightful Norwegian folk duo, Kings of Convenience whose 10+ year absence prompted 3 full to sold out shows at the Fonda. The audience was encouraged to snap along to the acoustic songs as clapping was deemed “too much” and the rage moment of the evening occurred when special guest Feist took to the drum kit. The energy did gradually ascend to a venue-wide dance party defined by gentle swaying and light bouncing. This vibe is exactly what I needed and proved that you don’t need high decibels or a threat of physical injury to get swept up in the music or express appreciation for a band.

Next week we have a particularly difficult decision to make Friday night between can’t miss duo, Sydney Sprague and Wheelwright, going up against the Cordovas and Joe Firstman celebrating one of my favorite albums of all time, The War of Women.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 10/23-10/29

Posted on October 22 by Kristen

It’s been a weekend of shenanigans in Las Vegas with the When We Were Young festival. There was SO much nostalgia brought on by the likes of Yellowcard, Relient K, Michelle Branch and many more, but there was nothing quite as emotional as the reunion of Something Corporate. Talk about when we were young, this band was such a seminal part of my youth (and my musical tastes) and I still can’t quite believe that I was able to see them again.
