Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 04/27-05/03

Posted on by Kristen

Only one note needed this week – UK’s King No-One has released their debut album, The Burden of Empathy, and this will be my entire playlist for all upcoming days, weeks, months, etc.  My favorite track from the album rotates, but I’m currently on a “Nosebleed” kick.

While I patiently wait for King No-One to make their LA debut, we’ve got options upon options for live music this week, particularly on the weekend where I’m trying to strategize around how many shows I can fit into an evening. Bruvvy at Gold-Diggers + Andy Clockwise the Hotel Cafe on Friday seems doable, but Switchfoot at the Venice West + Happy Landing at Teragram on Saturday is not going to happen.

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.

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:
