p/w: tickets
some dates have already sold out, so i would totes get them now. i'm set for the wiltern! + canNOT wait to see their headlining set. YES.

also, of note: robbers on high street is playing their west-coast record release show @ the troub (headliner) on aug. 7th. doors @ 8pm; mezzanine owls and 1990s are opening. i believe irene is a fan of mezzanine owls so that should be fun fun fun. plus robbers! their record grand animals is out later this month (7/24) so holler at that. they need to play here more.

re: paramount, one of my high school classmates is in the band. i've seen them a total of 3-4 times and they've gotten better and better each time. endearing song by the drummer (which sounded like a cover of some other song, though i can't be sure). super fun... you can hear a lot of the strokes/occasionally interpol-ish influence. i believe they play @ o'briens in santa monica once a month so pls check them out.

july is busy busy busy.
