concert season is upon us my friends (and pretty much has been since the kick off with coachella in april). while 2 or 3 day festivals like coachella & electric daisy carnival are fantastic in their own ways, there really is something special about intimate venues with a smaller audience. this past thursday i went to see La Roux at club nokia at LA Live. i forgot what an amazing venue it really is. while there is a lower general admission section, even being upstairs still makes you feel like you are in the front row. the acoustics are great, and really no matter where you end up, it's always a great view. thanks to work, the girls and i got set up with VIP wristbands to watch upstairs from a private area. yes please! if you haven't seen a show at club nokia, you NEED to go!

if La Roux wasn't enough on thursday, i was lucky enough to get to see MGMT at the Greek on friday through work. I unfortunately missed them when they performed at coachella this past year, so i was especially stoked to see them. the greek is yet another venue that is a gem. while there are actual seats at this place and only a small general admission area, everything about it is welcoming. the lights were fantastic during the show and the guys of MGMT were dead on. the psychedelic sound and the set list was a wonderful mix of old and new. the few personal favorites were 'electric feel' 'its working' and the set closer 'kids'. after the show (& our amazing 4th row seats) i got to hang out backstage (thank you work!) and stayed for a while and met the guys of the band and hung out with them. the guys were welcoming and couldn't have been nicer. i'm pretty excited because i get to see them again tonight at the fox theater in pomona (a venue i haven't been to yet!). MGMT round two, here i come!

looking forward to tonight's show - if it's half as good as friday was, i will be very content.
