Coasts.(LiVE).2015

Coasts.2015

the.Roxy.Theatre

Monday.August.10th

  The concert season has started for me and now back to blogging.  It's been a year that I haven't written anything about a show and what a perfect band to start my blog again.  Actually, the only band I wanted to see at Coachella this year.  Glad that Coasts came back and headlined there own tour.  They kicked a$$ tonight!  I almost missed this show because I forgot to key it in my phone.  Thanks for the newsletter Goldenvoice.

I arrived to the venue and the Roxy was packed with so many young kids.  They where getting down with the opening act.  Not a clue who the band.  When they got off stage, the kid's faces started to glow.  Everybody around me where on there phones, showing pictures and watching video clips. Pretty funny, but I kind of like it in a crazy way.  

I was a little nervous at first because I wasn't seeing any regular faces.  I was saying to myself, "is this the English band Coasts or someone else"?  This young crowd was not helping.

Coasts hit the stage and what a performance!  Loved it!  The kids where dancing and singing along with there smartphones to prove it.  I didn't even know they where a 5 piece band. I know I should of goggle them, but I like to be surprised and I was.  I have friends who watch YouTube videos of the bands live before they actually buy a ticket to the show.  I try not to do that. 

But for sure, I'll catch Coasts again in the future. I was entertained from start to finish and they sounded great!  Rock on...Coasts!

TODAY (Sept.13th) and Tomorrow (Sept.14th)....

You will find me at Los Angeles Historic CHINATOWN.

TON!GT.(Saturday.September.13th) I'll be vending for the Moon.Festival;

Digitalism.(L!VE)...

Digitalism.2013

The Troubadour (L.A., CA)

Friday.May.17th

What?!?! Digitalism at the.Troubadour?!?!  That is crazy and...PERFECT!  The stage set was simple.  There where only two stands (reminded me of Kraftwerk) and a huge white heart, just like the recent album cover as the back drop.  I love how Digitalism always changes things up.  It's never the same.

It's nine o'clock and the place still looks empty for a SOLD OUT show.  Maybe some people think that they are gonna go on late.

There was no opening band, but a live DJ spinning.  

It's ten o'clock and the place was...PACKED!  Digitalism hit the stage at 10:30 pm.   What a show so far.  It was a non-stop music performance.  They played two songs I wanted to hear (Circles and closed with, Pogo), but no "Digitaliam in Cairo" or "Two Hearts".  Sad face.

Beside the lady with her light up high heels, Digitalism had a crazy light show that could of caused someone to have an epileptic seizure. But other then that, it was... 

\m/ - AWESUM!!!

IAMX.(L!VE) at...

IAMX.2013

Fonda.Theater.(Los Angeles, CA)

Wednesday.May. 15th

What the...HELL!!!  The opener had a great voice for someone who is hungover on the final show.  Some people where into him and other where just making fun.  It was something that I did not expect for IAMX  to have this one man show to open for him.  All he had was a guitar, a backing track with beats and a mic.  He had a good voice, but what the hell!?!?! 

Once again..IAMX was FCVKn...AWESUM!!!  Everyone in the band glitter bomb us.  Groovy.  IAMX played some new songs that sounded really good (can't wait).  The last time I saw him was maybe 5 years ago and I think this was a better show.  Chris Corner (Lead Singer) is a rock star.  He had his Rock-n-Roll boots on and glitter all over his face.  He reminded me of Dave Gahan (Lead Singer of DM) because of his energy on stage and body frame.  

Everyone in the band had there own unique look that my eyes where bouncing all over the place.  Each and every one of them had a different paint on there face. I wish they tour much and I was glad I was here to witness this fantastic show.

\m/ - AWESUM

Little.Boots.(L!VE)...

Little.Boots.2013
@the.Echoplex.(Los Angeles, CA)
Thursday.May.2nd

The first band, Feathers where okay.  I liked the beat and sound of the band, but I was not digging the singer.  I couldn't  make out what she was singing and didn't have much of a stage presence.  

The next band, Avan Lava was Wham! meets C+C Music Factory.  They got the crowd going and I have never heard of them.  I was trying to make out if the lead singer was gay or not.  So hard these days and they where putting there...ALL. It was a show with confetti cannons going off into the crowd and a flash of titi here in there.  Yup, one of the dancers was flashing us.  She tried to fix it but gave up, just like the tape that was covering her nipples.

Little.Boots was up next and she toned down her look.  She grew out her hair and she reminded me of Goldfrapp.  I was missing that funky look.  The sad part of this show, there where a couple of technical problems.  Her mic was not working and when it did, the piece that connected to the mic (the wire) would fall off.  It happened twice and she caught the last one just in time. Victoria Christina Hesketh (Little.Boots real name) kept her cool while the tech guy ran around like a chicken with his head cut off trying to fix her mic.  

Once the mic was fixed, she would walk around, but...the cord was too short.  Little.Boots kept her cool and she didn't stop the show, she just kept on going, but she did apologize and didn't blame anyone.  I like that.  

The show was great and she played a bunch of new songs that sounded very promising, can't wait. Besides the Tenori-on not working as well and other techie problems, Little.Boots pulled out a GOOD show. 

\m/ - ROCK ON!

Icona.Pop.(L!VE)...

Icona.Pop.2013

@the.Troubadour.(Los.Angeles, CA)

February.16th

"I am so glad to be here again and sharing this experience with my wife", I think thats what Aino Jawo (Singer/Programmer) said.  I was surprised and happy to hear that they where...GAY!!! That explains why a bunch of ladies are here tonight.   I sometimes don't make a connection.  

Tonight's crowd knew who they came to see because the last time I saw them, not so many people knew (like myself) about them and what to expect.  Icona.Pop threw another GREAT show and topped last years performance at The EchoPlex.  

Aino Jawo and Caroline Hjelt (Icona.Pop members) looked good as always.  They got the crowd going from the moment they hit the stage.  Almost everyone on the ground floor was dancing (very rare to see in Hollywood).  The best part of the show was when Aino and Caroline started to hand out glow sticks to the crowd.  Rave time! 

Thirty minutes in and we all wanted more, but that was pretty much it.  Besides bringing  people on stage at the end, this show was...

\m/ -  Iconic...POP!

Niki.and.The.Dove.(L!VE)...

Niki.&.the.Dove.2013

@el.Rey.Theatre.(Los.Angeles, CA)

Monday.January.28th

"This show is awesome, just like The Faint", someone said behind me while N&TD where performing. Really?!?!  Niki and The Dove show was good, but you can't compare.  The Faint was...AMAZING!  

I arrived around 8 o'clock and the venue was light that I was able to be right on the stage.  I could count the people in the room.  They where two opening acts before Niki and The Dove that where...okay.  I turned around to checkout the crowd and the person next to me, whipped out her mini iPad?!?!  Really?!?!  Funny.  

Right after the second band, the venue was packed.  I use to be that person who would come in right before the opening  band went off stage just to see the main band.  Ever since I arrived early to see Balam Acab  in NYC and TRUST was the opening band (with other two bands), I would of never have stumbled on to them.  So now, I make it a habit to be early because you never know.   Plus, I get to be up close to get a good picture of the band.  

It was great to see Niki and The Dove on a bigger stage with a good sound system.  I loved looking at the fans who where by the stage (like myself) singing to every song.  This show was better from that crazy venue in Echo Park. They had issues there and you can see it in there faces, which made them cut there set short.  Malin Dahlström (Lead Singer) broke out with this hair piece that reminded me of Frida Kahlo.  Then she grabbed her furry fans and fanned us with them.  It felt nice.  

With a great performance, I couldn't stop looking at the outfits that Malin Dahlström and Gustaf Karlöf (Keyboardist) where wearing.  Malin was a clash of eighties Maddona and Cindy Lauper with the dance moves of Lisa Lisa (Cult Jam).  Gustaf was also something from the eighties with his long white dress shirt, wearing black pants that where rolled up to his ankles that showed off his white socks.  That look was HUGE for the Modern Rock guys, because I was doing that.  If you have not heard of them, you should pick up their latest album, "Instinct".  It was one of my top 30 albums of 2012.
