This week I made it out to check out country pop kid Maddox Batson. I almost didn’t make it to the show after my car decided to pick up a screw in one of it’s tires sometime the day before but luck was on my side. I’m glad I went and I look forward to seeing him on the road with Max McNown sometime in the future because I think those two would go great together. A gal can dream, right?

Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 04/06-04-12

Posted on by Kristen

New Venue Alert! I have found my way to Pacific Electric, a new music room kinda near Chinatown. The mid-sized space shines with its clean lines, exposed brick walls, and proscenium arch highlighting the stage. There are plenty of sight lines in the box-y main room including from a balcony with risers for multi-row viewing. The lighting and sound also feel clean and new (I didn’t even need ear plugs!). My biggest issue was the complete lack of seating outside of the ADA section. Thankfully, the floor is still clean and new as concert-goers didn’t hesitate to plop themselves all over the ground. While the venue lends itself to an experience that feels more clinically perfect than magically authentic, I hope this will change as more memories are created within these walls.

Next up we have New Zealand’s Borderline and Fort Worth’s The Unlikely Candidates highlighting a very packed and exciting musical week:

Amanda’s SD Concert Calendar 4/6-4/12

Posted on by Amanda

This week, you might’ve found me at Calum Scott or Winyah, both of which were great comedowns after The Maine. The collection of bands on my wrist has grown pretty decently and I think it might be time to take them off or take a bit of a break. I’m also getting to an age where I’m in that episode from Friends, “The One Where They’re Going to Party,” when the guys go out to reclaim their youth and end the night realizing they’re too old to party. Also, I’m finding myself annoyed at the 20 somethings that don’t know show etiquette.
