2019 05 12 * GAL PALACE [Los Angeles, CA] Just, Sonoda, Picky Bunches

have't been to gal palace in a while so it's nice to be back there for a show! and the cats were nice! also, i went to the show early to find parking because it's hard to find parking around there and then i sat in my car for a while before walking over to the show. i don't know why i'm telling writing that here. anyway,

the just band was on the last night of a weekend tour. it's garrett la bonte's songs with janey and sam farzin playing for the shows. i've seen garrett play in fugue a number of time, so it was nice to see him do something a little different. janey also does layman and sam does media jeweler, etc. all star band.

starting the show was picky bunches who i saw play at a bookstore a few months ago. bass bass drums with vocals. weird songs. weird lyrics. i love it. i've seen erika play solo before and saw erika and jen play in mush pot a couple times. all star band.

finishing the show was sonoda who are always a treat to see. i've only seen them three times, but it's been great each time. and a little different each time. this time it was a four-piece. mellow synthy pop songs. so good. i haven't seen the other in the band play in other things, but i'm sure this was also an all star band, for sure.

here's the flyer:


i wish i had recorded the audio for this show.
