BOYS OF SUMMER

For my birthday I got tix to see one of my favorite bands, Kings of Leon. I just recently became a fan of their music ever since the release of ONLY BY THE NIGHT. The band is HUGE in the UK and in Australia and finally have reached that status in the states.

So on Saturday night we headed out to the Forum in Los Angeles to check out KOL. I had such a great time, but I must say I could have done without the opening band, The Whigs. Not a fan... Anyhoo...KOL hit the stage and played hits from their latest record including "Sex on Fire", "Notion" and "Use Somebody." Amazeballs!!

And I just wanna say that I couldn't be happier for this bands' success. They were soooo humble and sweet. They kept thanking the crowd for being there and supporting their career; you could tell how much they cared through their perfomance, which was astonishing, and that's what made it even more special. Great night, great band, great b-day gift...

NOT SO SICK OF SARAH!

Last Friday @ The Roxy in Hollywood, Minneapolis' all girl rock -n- roller's "Sick of Sarah" but on an electrifying performance; promoting their latest EP 'The Best Thing' which dropped May 18th. This was just one stop on their US tour, hitting several cities, so keep your eyes peeled! Working in music and art, I have to say that Minneapolis is becoming a hub of great things, so we should be prepared to see some amazing things coming from this progressive city!

Not only did this quintet of scenesters rock the stage themselves, but brought on stage special guest Susanna Hoffs known for her work as vocalist and guitarist for the Bangles, her solo career, and involvement in working with many artists as a songwriter, so it was definitely a treat for those that attended this packed show!
