Immediately upon walking into the Greek Theatre, there was so much tie dye you would have thought it was a Dead show. But no: on June 7th, the 12-person blues rock group Tedeschi Trucks Band took the stage of the Greek, backdropped by a hazy sunset. As I got my bearings of the amphitheater, I…
Written by Clementine Daniel and Julia Steinhouse Photos by Julia Steinhouse The night started off with a bizarre series of events, as we entered the Hollywood Forever Cemetery at 9:15PM and drove right past the venue.

Cemetery. Cremation.” Lining up next to a row of tombstones was definitely not how I envisioned my Wednesday night to begin, but…

I don’t usually enjoy getting duped by TikToks implying that Steve Lacy is dropping unreleased music but Malcolm Todd’s are an exception. I first heard snippets of his hit song “Roommates” last year on my For You feed and shared the same sentiment as thousands of commenters on his post: release it now! Since then,…
Turning the corner onto Santa Monica Boulevard, I found myself in a sea of teens and twenty-something year olds in gold belts, long skirts, and silver nose rings waiting eagerly for the clock to strike.
