Do These Bands Fux Live?

First trip to 30 Rock in quite a while, but had to see Bug Club when I thought I missed my chance. Had a 3/4 awkward entrance into the venue, watched a 2.5/3 + 1 (they played Marriage!) live EP, bought an album, and a 2.5/4 conversation with them at the signing.

First trip to La Poisson in exactly one year, when I last saw Kimbra upstage Taylor Swift. While I did manage to be front and middle for most of the show after 2 hours of standing my varicose veins began to bulge and had to catch the last bit from the side room. They did not play any of the songs I knew. 3.5/5

First trip back to the Sultan since before LA. We got Jesus on the drums, a 90s jerkwad on the bass, and all the rest. Wow, a lot of improvement movement and they played the song I know! We gotta HoF them with a 4.5/5 performance!

After Thursday's all out rager I needed a little hair of the dog. Well that's all I got as I pulled up to the Broadway well into Cellar's set. Still from what I did gather 2/2.5. Ditched shortly after.

这是最伟大的音乐会! 即使当我走到一位女士面前, 用完全可以理解的中文问她这是不是最好的站立位置时, 她却假装不会说中文。 4.9999/5

Catfished again! 3.5/4.

Back in the Big Apple, and threw myself right back into the throng for a packed hall with Marika Hackman. She could do not wrong, and we could not believe our years (or our ears). She should change her name to Marika Expertman, 4.33/5.

Is it really time to say goodbye to all my LA friends? It was such an honor. Ray Barbee and Guerrero may not have been the best, but they meant the world. Lets put Long Beach, on the map.

Could the train really take you from Long Beach to see Twen $2.75? Turns out yes. My first time seeing the same headliner more than once (atwen). Despite the early 19:30 AM start time Twen was up and atom for a 4.5/5 exclamation point and a 1/1 From Enumclaw.

Watched some old 50s Hugh Grant films with Kurt before getting some spicey thai tacos (4.5/5) by the venue. Too late to turn back from the DJ Set, but Payten Redwood was a 3.5/4 pleasure surprise.
