Kristen’s Concert Calendar: 6/28-7/4

Posted on June 28, 2010 by Kristen

Just got back from Warped Tour in Ventura with Amanda. Will hopefully get around to writing something about it and posting some of my pictures. It was by far the most pleasant (weather-wise) Warped I’ve ever been to…but I still managed to get a lovely burn on the shoulders. Fortunately this week’s planned activities are largely indoors.

And if you want to go out at all this week, might I suggest Thursday heading to one of the places participating in The Gulf Coast Benefit. (http://gulfcoastbenefit.com/#about) On this day, select venues around the country will be donating money from ticket sales to organizations aiding those impacted by the oil spill. Several LA establishments (including my picks at The Roxy and The Mint) are participating. If you’re not in LA, check the website to see if a venue near you is involved. Enjoy some great live music AND play a part in helping our country deal with its current economic and ecological crisis. You’ve seen the pictures…you know you want to do something…this sounds like a perfect opportunity to me!

As for everything else:

Monday: Paris Carney and Songwriters in the Round at Room 5 (8,9)
ALSO: Victoria Clemmons and Abbot Kinney at Molly Malone’s (9,10)

Tuesday: Vienne at Saint Rocke (9:30)
ALSO: The Daylights at The Roxy (8pm)

ALSO: Joel Eckels and The Paper Sun at The Foundry on Melrose (?)

Thursday: Danielia Cotton at Levitt Pavilion in Pasadena (7pm)…is she worth driving to Pasadena for? Why yes, yes she is!
ALSO: Saint Motel at the Hammer Museum (7pm)
ALSO: The Gulf Coast Benefit at The Mint featuring Kaki King and Ben Lee (8pm)
ALSO: The Gulf Coast Benefit at The Viper Room featuring Wicker (9pm)
ALSO: Garrison Starr at The Hotel Cafe (8pm)

If you’re NOT at Coachella this weekend…

Posted on April 16, 2010 by Kristen

George Standford: Meet Me In LA

Tonight (Friday night), go to the Hotel Cafe for George Stanford’s EP release. George also moved out to LA from Philadelphia (where he was in this amazing band called Townhall). His song “Big Drop” off his album of the same name was on my best of ’09 mix. I am very excited about his new EP, Roll Away. You can get it directly from George’s website in a pay what you want manner: http://www.georgestanford.com/.

George plays at 10pm, but get there at 9pm for Vienne and stay for the always entertaining Andy Clockwise. It will be a fantastic evening of music!
