Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 9/30-10/6

Posted on by Kristen

Well, Rocktober is indeed upon us. It would be quite easy to do a show a night all month long and not hit a weak one in the bunch. It also involves making a lot of hard choices and, if your schedule doesn’t permit going to shows every night, a lot of sacrifices. My top shows this week are mostly bigger names: Frightened Rabbit and Augustines, Matt Nathanson and Joshusa Radin, and the rock band that defined my high school years, Travis!

But before we leave September, we have one more Monday to catch the great residencies of the past month. If you haven’t seen Dear Boy, Free Energy, or Deluka/Fire in the Hamptons at their respective free shows, don’t miss out!

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 9/16-9/22

Posted on by Kristen

I’ve been out of town all week, visiting friends and family on the east coast. It’s been great but I’m exhausted. I haven’t really had access to the computer or internet so that’s been different. Yesterday, I was in Philadelphia. I ate my favorite sandwich, played with a menagerie of animals (cats, dogs, rabbits, turtle…), met up with so many of my old concert buddies, and saw three of my favorite bands. The impetus for the trip was a reunion show for the band Jealousy Curve, a group that changed my life back in college. Seeing them take the stage once again made me heart happy and oh so nostalgic as this band pretty much marked the epitome of certain time in my life.  An added bonus was that the band played with another Philly-fave, Silvertide. It was an epic rock show. And because sometimes life does work out in one’s favor, I was able to catch a pre-show performance from Alright, Junior, another band that is near and dear to my heart. Add in my Thursday night when I got to see two Pawnshop Roses play some old and new tunes, and I pretty much got a taste of all my favorite Philadelphia bands!

This AM, I woke up in pastoral Maryland. Due to the fact that I didn’t see a bed until after 5am, I’m a little foggy…we used to call it the concert hangover. I’ll be back in LA mid-week, but I haven’t yet put much thought into that. Still, I do what I can to help you all in your concert planning…here’s my list:

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 9/9-9/15

Posted on by Amanda

Well this is definitely a change of pace. I’m up in LA for the first show of the Dear Boy residency tonight and will return to my humble home of San Diego tomorrow when I have to get back to reality. However, this week is the San Diego Music thing which has some great acts playing like Ra Ra Riot, New Politics, The Silent Comedy, Transfer, Dead Feather Moon, FIDLAR, The Album Leaf, Little Hurricane, and so many more. You can find the lineup for the music fest here. It’s a great way to sample music all around San Diego. If that’s not your thing, there are a *few* other options for you to indulge in though. I’m tired just looking at the schedule. Whew.
