Kina Grannis Live @ The Largo

On Friday May 20th, 2011 I had the opportunity to attend a sold out Kina Grannis show in Los Angeles. To my surprise the small venue had a theatrical setup with seats instead of a stand up concert. We sat only four rows from the stage and had the perfect view from the middle. She performed all her hits and even played a couple covers with her two sisters. She sounds amazing live and sounded as if I was actually listening to her record. If you've never listened to her, you should definitely give her a try or see her live. You'll instantly become obsessed with her music! I can't wait until she comes back to LA or maybe run into her at Irvine Spectrum.

This has got to be one of the craziest experience ever. Not only did we spend $45 on tickets only 4 hours before the actual show but we risked the chances of purchasing fake tickets from a scalper. Luckily we got in and got floor access for her last show in North America before going back home! Ended the night after with Dos Burritos, a random mexican joint down the street from the venue.

One of my favorite songs from her is this Elton John cover of Your Song.

Together As Seven (One) 2011

This New Years we decided to spend it at the L.A Sports Arena with 45,000 other spectators for Kendra Tong's 23rd birthday! It was my first rave back since TAO '04 and everyone's first. Besides the overcrowding, it was a great time with some of my favorite people. I think we will be going back in the future and if you have no idea what a rave looks like check out the video below. I suggest it's something everyone should experience if you are open to this type of music.
