Kristen’s LA Concert Calendar: 05/18-05/24

Posted on by Kristen

I ended up at the Grammy Museum for an interview with Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman.  This, in short order, resulted in the purchase of Warped Tour tickets for Orlando (the CA dates conflict with Comic Con). It’s been a minute since I’ve been able to attend a music festival and I couldn’t be more excited to see this year’s lineup rock under the Florida sunshine.  Of note, it was cheaper to buy plane tickets + festival tickets than just festival tickets to most other music festivals…thank you Mr. Lyman for keeping live music more assessable. You are an inspiration!

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.
