Jenny Hval and Dinner Come Together at Resident to Light Up a Dark Week
Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Words and cheesy photo edits by me. Without meaning to, Hval ended up addressing our recent election several times. She decided not to show us a video of zombies doing aerobics because it didn’t “feel appropriate,” then she stopped herself to apologize. “Everything I say feels ironic. Maybe it’s just my Norwegian-ness. But I mean all of it,” she … Continue reading Jenny Hval and Dinner Come Together at Resident to Light Up a Dark Week
Powerful Producers Empress Of and Banoffee Share Stage at Club Bahia for 30 Days in LA
Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Photos courtesy of Red Bull Sound Select. “Imagine if Banoffee played with Empress Of,” my roommate joked with me last summer. I had just told him that Empress Of was coming to the Echo, and around that time I had been gushing about Banoffee’s masterful second EP, Do I Make You Nervous? It clearly amused him to tease me about … Continue reading Powerful Producers Empress Of and Banoffee Share Stage at Club Bahia for 30 Days in LA
Kishi Bashi Returned to LA for a Joyful and Emotional Show at the Belasco
sngshows: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Words by me, photos by Steven Ward. What set this concert apart for me was Kishi Bashi’s ability to keep us grounded. This wasn’t just a blissful romp; he also got political and emotional (but thankfully not at the same time). I felt Beach Goth was surprisingly absent of political rhetoric, but Kishi Bashi made up for it by … Continue reading Kishi Bashi Returned to LA for a Joyful and Emotional Show at the Belasco
Electrop pop sensations St. Lucia and BAIO dazzled crowds at the Wiltern
Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Words by me, photos by Danielle Gornbein. BAIO is not the most innovative electronic musician I’ve heard nor would I characterize his live show as revolutionary, but hell, the whole affair still is fresh and fun. Not another DJ could make tapping one button in time to the beat look so amusing. Nor could any other white boy make shaking your … Continue reading Electrop pop sensations St. Lucia and BAIO dazzled crowds at the Wiltern
Julien Baker Bewitched Audiences at the El Rey Ahead of FYF Performance
sngshows: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Words by me, photos by Danielle Gornbein. From the very first moment, everyone in the room was fully invested in Julien Baker’s performance. The beginning of her set had us all in a stupefied silence, breaking only to applaud at the end of each song. Baker plucked her guitar strings with such control that it cut through me, like a … Continue reading Julien Baker Bewitched Audiences at the El Rey Ahead of FYF Performance
Broods Ignite Passion at Their First “Local” LA Show, Supported by Jarryd James
sngshows: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Words by me, photos by Andrew Gomez. Broods gives off an infectious energy. It is the kind of feeling that makes you want to pursue your passions and also forces you to be in the moment. For some at this show, that translated to dancing until your drink gets knocked over or taking lip syncing selfies; for others, it meant … Continue reading Broods Ignite Passion at Their First “Local” LA Show, Supported by Jarryd James

sngshows: Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. Monday night at the Echo marked the final night of Kauf’s monthlong residency at the famous Echo Park venue. He was joined by some of LA’s brightest indie rockers, including Rush Midnight and pr0files, with a closing DJ set by Jeffrey Brodsky that kept the crowd dancing after hours.
