Come out your caves, y’all! The winter monsoon of doom 2018 has officially ended and the sun has come out, at least for now… so don’t waste any time and go celebrate we’re all still alive by witnessing the miracle that is live music. And I mean ‘miracle’ in the most secular way possible – none of us here at La La Lista are religious in the traditional sense of the word. Unless you count music as a religion, in which case I guess we’d all be considered fundamentalists.
So, without further ado, here’s your live music agenda for this week:
Thursday 2/8
