2018 Favorite Shows

This year I continued my effort to catch a few bands that I’ve liked for years but never got around to seeing and it was very rewarding. These shows included Saint Etienne, Protomartyr, Agnes Obel, The Love Language, Erasure, Johnny Marr, The The, and The Dickies.

Not everyone comes to Los Angeles on a regular basis so I was thrilled to finally catch Young Galaxy, Dawn Landes, Retirement Party, Samantha Crain, and Sidney Gish.

It’s also worth mentioning that I saw a lot of great openers this year: bands I checked out because they happened to be on the bill and they turned out to be great. Weaves, Thin Lips, Petal, And the Kids, Jess Cornelius, Ed Harcourt (never miss the opening act at an Afghan Whigs show!), and awakebutstillinbed all belong in this category. But the following list is of the shows that were really special to me, in no particular order after The Jesus Lizard.

The Jesus Lizard, Sept. 29, Crystal Ballroom, Portland OR “Happy Birthday, Sabina.” Seeing The Jesus Lizard has always been an incredible experience but the reunion shows they’ve played over the past year were excellent even by their standards. The crowds came with high expectations: you could feel the excitement in the air before the band set foot on stage. (I’ve never had so many strangers strike up a conversation the way they do at TJL shows.) I’ve loved this band from the moment I heard them (thanks, Dad). I saw them play many times when I was in college. They were a standard by which I measured any other rock band. I’ve seen a lot of live music in the 25 years since I first saw them. They are still the standard. They never disappoint. It’s hard for me to articulate my feelings without hyperbole because it’s hard for me to believe that I’ve found a band that’s so consistently rewarding. In Portland, there was a profound synchronicity between the audience and the band. They delivered an epic set that included both “One Evening” and “Lady Shoes,” while the audience did the Dudley dance for half the duration of its namesake song, then staged a clap-a-long during “Fly on the Wall.” They keep getting better and no one else comes close.

Fever Ray, May 25, Hollywood Palladium, Los Angeles, CA One of the great debts I’ll always owe Pitchfork is that they introduced me to The Knife. Not only the band's music, but in 2006 they clued me in to the band’s 4-show U.S. tour with a front page exclaiming “THE KNIFE IS COMING”. On that tour, and the first Fever Ray tour three years later, Karin Dreijer hid in the shadows, obscured by darkness and makeup. The Knife had changed their approach by the time they hit the road in 2014, and it was a wild technicolor spectacle for people who wanted more aerobics in their dance party. There were so many performers onstage that it wasn’t always clear who was singing. Dreijer was never more out in front than on this Fever Ray tour, supporting the excellent 2017 release, Plunge. Flanked by backup performers, she seemed jubilant throughout the entire performance. Remarkably, all of the tracks from Fever Ray’s subdued 2009 debut fit neatly next to the new material. The version of the band that was onstage made everything in the catalog uniquely their own. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to last. Dreijer cancelled the second half of the tour citing “general anxiety and panic attacks.” It’s a shame because this Fever Ray show was her best yet. Few artists reinvent their art the way Dreijer does. hopefully she’ll be ready to hit the road again in the future.

Let’s Eat Grandma, Sept. 4, Moroccan Lounge, Los Angeles, CA Every once in a while there’s a show where everyone knows something truly remarkable is happening. The audience is ecstatic and the band shares these glances where you know it’s special for them too. This was one of those shows. Let’s Eat Grandma released one of the best records of the year and delivered a performance to match.

The Dickies, Sept. 8, Whisky A Go Go, Los Angeles, CA I finally saw them after 30 years of fandom and they lived up to my high hopes. They played most of their greatest hits circa 1989′s “Great Dictations”. No “Killer Klowns from Outer Space” or “If Stuart Could Talk,” but a great set nonetheless. Their cover of “Paranoid” is a steamroller live and was definitely a highlight until the woman next to me was knocked down by an errant mosher and one of her pinwheeling arms hit me right in the balls.

I saw them again a few days ago on a bill with Mac Sabbath, PPL MVR, and Captured! By Robots and they played “If Stuart Could Talk”. I guess if you’re on bill with that many high-concept acts it’s time to break out the arms-length penis puppet.

Poster Children, Sept. 18, Hotel Café, Los Angeles, CA Poster Children should be huge. Their first three records, Flower Plower, Daisychain Reaction, and Tool of the Man, are classics, and their latest, Grand Bargain!, was one of my favorite records of the year. Their Los Angeles tour stop was at Hotel Café, a small club known for lighter fare. Upon seeing the tables in front of the stage, Rose asked, “You guys know what kind of music we play, right?” The set was a mix of classics and cuts from Grand Bargain! and I lost my mind when they played “Dangerous Life” in the encore set.

Samantha Crain, Dec. 13, The Echo, Los Angeles, CA An artist I’ve waited a (relatively) long time to see and she was worth the wait. I loved last year’s “You Had Me at Goodbye” and it turns out she has a deep and excellent catalog as well. The Echo wasn’t crowded and there was no one else in my line of sight so it felt very intimate. My only complaint was that she was opening for another act; I would have loved a set that was twice as long.

Basia Bulat, Feb. 23, Bootleg Bar, Los Angeles, CA I’ve loved her music for 10 years and I’ve tried to see every show she’s played in Los Angeles. It’s a quest that’s included venues such as Old Style Guitar Shop, It’s a School Night at Bardot, and even a Bob Odenkirk comedy revue at Largo. I’ve seen her at Hotel Cafe, The Echo, and The Bootleg (3 times). I’m trying to show you what my commitment level is so you can fully understand how embarrassing the following story is to me: The show last February was a gig that she performed while she was in town recording her new album. She effortlessly translated her work for a solo performance where she alternated between guitar and piano. As always, she sounded amazing. The piano was pushed up against the stage, so when she played it, she was only a few feet away from where I was standing. She asked if anyone had heard her most recent record, “Good Advice.” We had. The audience seemed very enthusiastic: before the show I overheard people recounting other shows of hers that they’d attended, one couple had opened for her many years ago, etc. “Well, sing along!” she enthused. “Good Advice” has a bridge where there is a back and forth vocal. The lines are repeated and slightly offset, so that if one person was singing, she’d have to clip the outgoing line to get to the next one, and there are about six of these call and response couplets in that part of the song. I knew this is the part of the song she was talking about. When she got there, I was feeling pretty confident that we were all gonna nail this and it was going to be a fucking magical communion between us, her longtime fans. She hit the first one, and sang “Any sense I had at all is gone,” and I, anticipating being part of a chorus, sang the echo line. Over the course of the five seconds it took to recite the line, I realized that I was the only one singing and everyone was listening. I could feel people turning towards me. Basia Bulat was saying, “Yes, yes, yes!” and smiling as she played. I was shaken and missed the next cue. Now the pressure was on and there was no way I was going to be able to rejoin and not mess up, so I stayed silent. I stood next to her in shame, knowing that every line I didn’t jump in on made the situation increasingly awkward. Basia Bulat shrugged and did the rest of the lines herself.

I humiliated myself in front of an artist that I’ve long admired, but it was still one of my favorite shows of the year, because she’s brilliant. The reason I go to every show I can is that she always seems like she’s about to have some greater degree of success. If there are any casual observers in the audience when she starts, there are only fans when she walks off the stage. I still believe that it’s only a matter of time before she’s playing in a theater or a place with a greater separation between the artist and the crowd, so I'm going to continue to catch all the shows that I can. I’ll just try to do a better job of reading the room.

The Breeders, April 7, Observatory, Santa Ana, CA The last time I saw The Breeders they sucked but they put out such a great album (All Nerve is easily one of the year’s best) that I had to see this show. I’m glad I went because they was amazing. They have so many great songs that a live set is an embarrassment of riches. They even played “Gigantic.” There was a woman standing next to me for the duration of the show and we chatted while The Breeders were setting up. Once they started playing, she would turn to me and say something I couldn’t hear and I would smile and nod and she would issue this crazy laugh. So The Breeders were great but after every song I looked into this mass that was all eyes and teeth and hair in blue light. She looked like Sheryl Lee in Fire Walk With Me and it was terrifying.

Kyle Craft, March 4, Moroccan Lounge, Los Angeles, CA

I have bad luck seeing Kyle Craft in that he’s played here fairly frequently and it rarely works out that I can attend. I’ve seen him twice, once a few years ago when he was on tour for his debut album Dolls of Highland and then this year when he was supporting his follow up, Full Circle Nightmare. Both shows were excellent. He’s got a great band and they’ll give you a full on rock show. Craft is one of those artists that you should see when you can, not only because he’s a great performer, but because his muse moves quickly. His first release was a double album; he played it almost in it’s entirety the first time I saw him. When he came back for this show, he played one song from it.

Lydia Loveless, June 10, Casbah, San Diego, CA Lydia Loveless, June 11, Troubadour, Los Angeles, CA

My daughter had a dance recital on the 10th and when it was over I dropped her and my wife off and tried to break the land speed record to get to San Diego in time to see Lydia Loveless. I arrived just as she started her first song. Forty minutes later, I jumped in the car and drove back to Los Angeles, as I had to work early the next day. It was worth it because although Lydia Loveless has recorded many exceptional cover songs, I’ve never heard her play one live, and at this show she performed her cover of Justin Bieber’s “Sorry.” These shows were solo acoustic performances, and she was opening for Justin Townes Earle. She doesn’t play on the West Coast very often, so I always try to catch whatever I can. I love her records and she’s fantastic live. These shows were excellent but shows with her band are unbelievable.

Belly, August 9, Teragram Ballroom, Los Angeles, CA

I had written Belly off as a live band, I was disappointed with a show that I’d seen two years previous. I liked their new album, Dove, and since I had the night off I figured I should check this show out. I’m glad that I did because it was the best Belly show I’ve ever seen (twice in 1993 and once in 2016).

Loma, April 8, Bootleg Bar, Los Angeles, CA

Silence is respect in Los Angeles, and Loma got a lot of it. Jonathan Meiburg (Shearwater) Emily Cross and Dan Duszynski (both of Cross Record) crafted this delicate record and as captivating as it is, I feel as though I didn’t truly appreciate it until I saw this show. Who knows if the three of them will ever make another record together. See what you can when you can.

WIP TAG GAME

tagged by @terrainofheartfelt

Rules: List all of your WIPs and tag as many people as the WIPs and whichever fic you (followers/anyone reading this) find interesting, you can ask about it and I'll either tell you about it or post a snipet or both!

Luckily for me, I am new to the gig, so I don't have much to look through.

Dair Childhood Friends AU: I've kinda talked about this WIP and it is the one with the most progress, but it DEFINITELY is not done. I literally have been writing bits and pieces all out of order. With that being said, I am enjoying writing it. Basically, Dan and Blair meet as little kids (dual point of view), and I just go into their lives had they grown up together. I actually got the idea from a Michael Bublé music video, and I am in love with it. I got finished writing a scene with the two of them in an observatory and I had to take a break lol.

GG Haunting of Hill House AU: okay so this one is very new (and I have had it on my mind for a while), so I decided to start on it this week. I would be following the plot with Netflix's version (although I have thought about using the original), and I am incredibly interested in it. I haven't figured out the characterization yet, but the definite characterization is Chip as Steve, Nate as Luke, Rufus and Alison (rare character, I know) as Hugh and Olivia, respectively, and Dorota and Vanya as the Dudley's. Serena, Dan, and Blair are the ones I am struggling with right now mainly because I have SO many idea's for the characters and what I want to do, so.... idk.

#thank you so much for tagging me!!!!#it will be a while for either of these to be written #but I am excited about both #I don't know if this is cheating by tagging @natearchie and @mysteriesofloves #if so sorry

Hey I was just wondering if there's anywhere you would recommend visiting in New York apart from the usual tourist attractions, places that are a bit different?

This is actually something i wanted to write a blog post on but I wasn’t sure if people would be interested in. Is it something you think you would read if I put it up?#1 One hack is to go to rooftop bars instead of dishing out 30-40 dollars for One World Observatory or Top Of The Rock. Now two years ago when I was here for a summer there wasn’t the same options for rooftops as there are now - but since this May the two most incredible ones have opened up. You have to go to Public Hotels and The William Vale, Honestly, the views from them both are as breathtaking as any you’ll pay for (plus you can enjoy a drink at the same time - the music on Public rooftop really adds to the experience too) #2 Download the apps Pulsd + Eventbrite. Also I frequently check Guest of a Guests list of events (some are ticketed and invite only, others are free to attend) and there’s DoNYC and Time Out NYC of course. Refining your search on Facebook for events in your area is a good idea too. I do it at least once a week. Oh, and I frequently check fomofeed and artworldnyc on instagram - they show the unconventionally tourist side to New York for sure. #3 Working out in the city is a great way to see it - and the good news is you can be thrifty about it too. I’ve gone to free running clubs in the Samsung flagship store and the A DAY pop up on Elizabeth St. There’s also free kayacking on the Hudson river on Sundays (don’t be like me and go hungover)#4 SMORGASBURG. It’s actually a bit touristy but a MUST. There are a few different locations but I urge you to go to the one in Williamsburg. Not to excite you too much but they have spaghetti doughnuts. If you’re into fares and markets I strongly recommend Hester St Fare in the Lower East Side. It doesn’t get the recognotion it deserves really! If you’re there then 100% check out Manic Jane - the best vintage stall of them all. #5 If you’re a movie buff like me then you’re in luck. One of my favourite spots in New York is in Bushwick - It’s called Syndicated. They screen old school movies from the likes of Baz Luhrman and Wes Anderson for $4 and any new release is $7 (which is half of what you would pay in any theater in Manhattan) It’s all in a really precious art deco setting and waitresses come in and out if you want to order wine (or even classic cheese royal) during the screening. Nitehawk just off Bedford Ave is a similar concept - they also do brunches on a Saturday morning where you can eat bowls of cereal and watch screenings of your all time favourite childhood films. If you download the apps I suggested too you’ll see the listings of free outdoor movies that run up until September. Hotels such as Hotel Hugo and Arlo SoHo do weekly screenings on their rooftops too.

#5 JAZZ. The Jazz scene here is something I was very set on exploring. So far I’ve only gone places with no cover (because hello, who is in their early 20s in this city with disposable income for tables at jazz bars) The Roxy hotel have free jazz 1-2 nights a week, it’s very intimate and feels like something from an Ernest Hemmingway book. Arthurs Tavern in the West Village is an old classic - the staff are so rude and the place is teeny but you have to go if you want to see real jazz.

#6 I struggle a little bit with the amount of parties there are on the weekend. Like it seems a though people my age literally do nothing else sometimes! But i have to give them credit - there is no better place to go out than here. All day parties you can choose from are the likes of Mr Sundays, MoMa PS1 on a Saturday and Tiki Disco on Sundays. These are all in Brooklyn and Queens. The party scene in Manhattan isn’t as fun to be honest - unless you like wearing heels and sitting around a table of girls on their phones drinking vodka sodas. #6 Don’t be ripped off on food while you’re here and experience New York through eating where the locals eat. My personal favorites (and also dirt cheap places) are: Cafe Habana - For the famous corn and Cuban sandwich. This is my favourite spot in all of the city - especially the Brooklyn location. Lovely Day - It’s Asian food in a cosy English setting, thats’s the only way I know how to describe it. Please get the coconut curry with udon noodles if you’re there!Pause Cafe - Out of everywhere in NYC i’ve come back here the most for the generous portions of acai bowls. Prince St Pizza + Joes - You can’t come to this city and not eat a fantastic slice of ‘zaaaa. San Marzano - Skip the craziness of Little Italy and venture into the East Village for fresh-as-you-can-get pasta. And the best news is a pitcher of sangria is 15 bucks and all pasta dishes come in at 9. It’s always packed there but worth the half hour wait, trust me. Vanessas Dumplings - 1.50 pan fried dumplings. Yes, you heard me. We lived off this famous spot when we first came over. There are a few locations but go to the one just off Broome St if you’re going. Wo Hop on Mulberry St is also somewhere to hit up if you’re interested in experiencing authentic chinese food at a cheap price (i may or may not have two t-shirts from there, just sayin’) Dudleys + Rubys - Okay I’m done with the food after this but you have to give these Australian restaurants a go. I can’t express how happy Dudleys makes me. They are all rounders - amazing for brunch, dinner, drinks, coffee - EVERYTHING.

Okay I could keep writing these suggestions but I have to stop somewhere! I hope this helped and you enjoy your trip here xx
