One of the main reasons I haven't let the pitfalls of this city drive me back to the ease and comfort of Texas is the idea that on almost any given night, L.A. holds the promise of a chance to see amazing live music at one of its many historical and intimate venues for often a small fee.
Last night $13 bought me
(not including drinks, valet parking, food and... did I say booze?) admission to
The Echoplex to see
The Bird and The Bee. Despite being an avid music lover, I always find my vocabulary with which to describe my musical experiences poorly lacking. Most often I hear myself describe the shows I see in painfully simple and flimsy terms like: 'amazing' 'okay' 'fun' 'lame' 'awesome.' But, thanks to the modern comforts of YouTube and the like, frustration over my inarticulate command of musical language is alleviated and I can happily say...
The Bird and the Bee was awesome at the echoplex last night, see for yourself:
(haven't been able to find a clip from the echoplex, but it went a little something like this...)
