Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 2/21-2/27

Posted on by Kristen

After a big music week, I’m enjoying a low-key long weekend minding a puppy. Things the puppy likes: sticks, awkwardly sleeping on top of me, The Mandalorian (specifically The Child), food (her food, my food, random refuse on the street that looks vaguely like food) and walking up the steps to strangers’ front doors. Things the puppy does not like: people eating, people sleeping, people sitting on their balconies or standing on the sidewalks (particularly in groups), being left alone (even for a few minutes), and oversized traffic cones.  It’s been a delightful weekend, but I do look forward to returning to a life where going to the bathroom is not a big event.

I’m also looking forward to some musical delights next week including Grandson, Wheelwright, and a special performance from Dashboard Confessional celebrating new music at the Troubadour.

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 2/14-2/20

Posted on by Amanda

My week has been spent keeping it low key after my LA weekend last week. There was some tough PT sessions mixed in there as well so music and shows haven’t really been on my mind. I did purchase a ticket to the Neighbourhood Weekender Fest in Manchester. If James Bay hadn’t been added to the lineup this might’ve been a different story. Still contemplating if I can make it to Leeds and back for the Slamdunk Festival as well. Lots to think about…

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 2/7-2/13

Posted on by Kristen

I am starting to feel like I have a social life again. This is directly correlated to an uptick in live musical experiences. Coincidence?  I saw a livestream from Gang of Youths this week and David Le’aupepe said “music is a gateway drug to belonging” and this really hit. Music this week led me to new discoveries (hello Evan Bartels!) and inspiring conversations (IS the future of music spoken word indie-pop?) and generally gave me the energy and enthusiasm to get through the rest of my week.  

Another accomplishment last week was more trip planning for a UK adventure which I shall celebrate next week with UK artists JC Stewart and James Gillespie.
