I’m not a local, but my band played this DIY space last year and it was so special! If you’re into freaky art installations and live music, I highly recommend swinging by if they’ve got an event happening.
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
Last night, I attempted to go to the Alice Coltrane art exhibition opening at the Hammer in LA (but despite showing up early they‘d already hit capacity for the event womp womp) Anyways I had it booked if this happened I’d head to the World Stage in Leimert Park just 20-minutes east for some jazz. And y’all… it’s been on my list to get to this side of town and check it out - blown away. Amazing talent coming through here. If you’re a fan of jazz, please check it out. I’ll for sure be back ☆♪
I feel like vibes-wise some venues that might be good for you are Pete’s Candy Store, Purgatory, or Sundown.
If you’re looking for other people to play with, let me know! My band’s def a louder vibe and we already have a show that weekend but possibly could do both if needed. (we’re called Hands First)
Will definitely try to come see you play either way!
Favorite book by my favorite author, it got me back into my childhood love of reading after a long hiatus in college. Wonder is my favorite feeling and Murakami really knows how to imbue a story with it. You do have to put up with him being a perverted freak on every other page but it’s worth it in my opinion.
