Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 12/12-12/18

I did something for the first time last week – hot yoga.  It wasn’t the highlight of my week, but I can add it to the list of life experiences.

Next week, we’ve got a very busy Monday night. The Franklin Electric, who I’ve been wanting to see for years, finally come to LA, Evan + Zane will surely dazzle at the Troubadour, and Garrison Starr is part of a mostly Canadian line-up at Monday Monday.

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 12/5-12/11

I am still rocking to the tunes of Phantom Planet after seeing them blow the roof off a small club last week. I missed their last show which celebrated the 20-year anniversary of their breakout album, The Guest, and as much as I wanted to hear alllll of those songs, I found myself rather into the newer offerings from their 2020 album, Devastator. The show was the perfect combination of nostalgia bombs and new discoveries and suggested that one of my fave bands from the early/mid 00’s is still relevant to my current life (something I wish I could say more).

Next week, the holiday shows begin with Buzz Bands Holiday Happening and KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas, but I am also looking forward to a dance party with Mothe and a wintertime installment of Coffee Shop Arena Rock at the Hotel Cafe (the lineup looks amazing!).

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 11/28-12/4

This past week was one of mainly reflection. This time last year, I wasn’t able to work on my calendar posts due to a medical issue and I was struck by how far someone can come in a year. A year is a long time, even though it feels shorter and shorter as I get older, but so many things can change. I’m happy for my health. I’m happy that I can go enjoy shows and do other activities that bring me joy. I also hope to close this year out with a few more solid shows under my belt. It’s December all of a sudden (I feel like I’m stuck in October) and before you know it, we will be in 2023. Ahhhhhh!!!
