Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 4/10-4/16

Posted on April 9, 2023 by Kristen

Hoppy Easter! I got my celebration going Saturday night with Matthew Logan Vasquez at the Moroccan Lounge. After seeing so many younger bands lately with their tik tok friendly tunes, trendsetting lewks, and inflexible setlists, it was refreshing to see a talented band playing purely for the love of it (even if they were having the time of their lives singing about drinking White Claws). Matthew played songs from his various projects, taking notes from the invested audience and even breaking out into a requested tune that would extend beyond the limits of his allergy-impaired voice (do not bring the man any of those yellow wildflowers lining the roadsides). It was the perfect way to celebrate a joyous weekend!

Next up we have an important week for one of my favorite bands, The Silent Comedy who are making their return to Los Angeles (it’s been years!) playing Harvard & Stone Thursday night.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 4/3-4/9

Posted on April 2, 2023 by Kristen

A year or so ago I saw Abraham Alexander for the first time, playing a few songs for a radio show. I was particularly inspired by one song so I went online to identify its name and could not locate it anywhere. Months went by and I felt like maybe I had imagined this song. Fast forward to last week when I attended a listening party for the artist’s album, Sea/Sons, at the Gibson Showroom. About halfway through the album, Abraham gets out the guitar to play a couple tunes including one called “Blood Under the Bridge.” A few notes in and I realize that THIS IS MY SONG! There is nothing quite like discovering a new favorite song or artist live for the first time, but in this case, I was able to have that moment twice!
