Saw a show last night with a friend in LA (Lola Young, echoplex). relaxed, danced around in the back mostly- got a bit closer when we felt like it. sang our heads off. inception rec- Lola young is a face melter of an artist.
There's a neat kombucha bar / music venue in town, and it's one of my favorite places to see music. Pretty much exclusively indie/punk shows, but a friend asked us to play there, and we brought a very different vibe with our old time/bluegrass/folk stuff. Everyone was so nice, and it was fun to merge two sort of different worlds that share a DIY ethos
Great, actually. Lil mini chance to be spontaneous and vulnerable with people you care about. Forces my brain to freeze & flow at the same time. conversely, I get to collect tiny aural glimpses of where people are at on every level.
Getting to pour some quiet processing time into a life change, unfulfilled desire, or complex relationship with whatever? get yourself to the safe harbor of a harshly lit drugstore. It helps.
