Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 8/14-8/20

I thought I had lucked into tickets to see Beck and Phoenix last week until I found out that they couldn’t give tickets away to that show because people didn’t want to brave the prophesized traffic nightmare caused by the Taylor Swift concert taking place next door. Turns out, traffic wasn’t bad at all (when you arrived early and parked a mile away), the show was quite fun (highlighted by Phoenix dancing around to tunes from my favorite of their albums, Alphabetical), and watching the Taylor Swift sparkle parade navigating the streets of Inglewood was valid pre-show entertainment.

Coming up, we’ve got some great singer-songwriters including Annabel Lee for Beck Pete’s residency, Hayley Warner and more singing at Jesse & Friends, and Tegan & Sara at the Bellweather Monday night.

December 8th: Depeche Mode @ Pechanga Arena

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 7/31-8/6

I’ve been driving around listening to Andrew McMahon full blast on the stereo, inspired by another riveting performance at the Sad Summer Festival where he surfed the audience on an inflatable llama, brought out the “Synesthesia” parachute, and featured his daughter Cecilia on her eponymous hit.  Although Andrew’s newest album, Tilt At The Wind No More, might be one of my favorites from his catalogue, the set highlight for me was Something Corporate oldie, “Hurricane”. Those SC songs will always strike an emotional chord.  

We’ve got some special shows next week including two nights of Local Natives at the Ford, a Candlelight concert from LeAnn Rimes, the return of Ernie Halter to the Hotel Cafe and a free show featuring American Authors and Young Rising Sons at Frogtown Brewery.

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 7/24-7/30

Well, another Comic Con is in the books. I looking back, I realized I’ve been attending for the past 10+ years. It’s definitely changed and grown throughout the years but like the music scene, it’s a place that feels like home. You’re surrounded by creative people and everyone is rooting for and supporting everyone else. It’s a safe space and it’s a good space to be in. Hooray for nerds of all sorts.

This week starts off slow, perhaps everywhere is recovering from the Comic-Con hangover. Saturday is the night to go out this week! Tons of good options to choose form.
