Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 6/27-7/3

Posted on by Kristen

It’s a big week! Work-wise, I’m going to be finishing up and turning in something I’ve been working on for months. In my personal life, I’m moving this week…and my mother is flying across the country to assist. Musically, it’s the last Empire (Semi Precious Weapons’ weekly party at On The Rox). All of this is making me a little overwhelmed  and emotional…fingers crossed it all goes well.

This week also marks my welcome back to the world of the living (hopefully). I tested my newly regained health out yesterday at the vegan beerfest which took place at The Roxy. It was a tad exhausting, but I didn’t keel over or develop some new form of illness so we’ll chalk it up as a success! Also, The Silent Comedy played a set that got the entire festival dancing (double success!!). If you still haven’t seen this band, I shake my fist at you. Mark your calendars for July 7th when they’ll be playing LACMA with Saint Motel. Tim Burton’s exhibit is in town, so come for some art and some music…you won’t regret it!

Amanda’s SD Show Calendar 6/20-6/26

Posted on by Amanda

I don’t know about you folks but I had a lovely weekend. I was able to make it out to the Bro-Am and the Bro-Am After party where I had the 90’s come crashing back thanks to Johnny Rzeznik. Little Hurricane was in the house as well and were wonderful as always! Unfortunately, I stepped on something at the beach on Saturday and ended up with a nasty sting/bite. I don’t know what caused it but I know it’s red and it’s angry. So I’m spending my Monday nursing an angry foot. Yay!

SO full right now. So so very full. The annual Easter party was full of friends and food and eggs that now look like angry birds…what more could you want!?! Why music of course! I’m trying to clear some room in my stomach for the french fries that will hopefully accompany more friends and some awesome tunes at Saint Rocke tonight…assuming I will be able to move by then…

I will definitely be able to move by Monday night because I got my ticket for The Airborne Toxic Event at The Satellite the instant they went on sale (AKA wouldn’t miss it for the world).
