Back in December, we presented a rather pleasant Winter get-together with a few longtime favorites and now we're back at pehrspace for the Summer version with some ol' time lovers and new time friends.
Let's start with the new since we've been running around catching Elle King, Victoria Noll, and I Hate You Just Kidding for a little while now. Ms. King is a native Angeleno but spent much of her formative years in New York. She writes some of the best love/hate folk/blues tunes we've ever heard and that voice of hers is gonna break a million hearts before all is said and done. Newly christened Angeleno, Victoria Noll, doesn't sound like anything we've ever heard out of Alabama. Her demos contain some rather haunting folk tunes gorgeously sung by perhaps the rawest artist we've come across in years. Watchers better be watching this one. I Hate You Just Kidding is just the type of folk pop duo we've been dying to hear out of Orange County. This show will mark the band's Los Angeles debut but we're pretty sure bookers will be all over them once word of their new "Untitled" EP spreads.
What else could we do to complete this delightful collection of performers than to ask our dearest Ema and the Ghosts and Miniature Houses to grace us with their presence? Ms. Ema hasn't played a show in nearly a century (or that's what it's felt like) but she's come out of her rabbit hole for this special occasion. We presume she's been crafting many a pretty tune inside her pretty little head during her time away and we're all excited to hear them. We caught Miniature Houses (formerly known as I Read Her Journal) last weekend and the once boy-girl duo has now blossomed into a boy-girl-boy-boy quartet and, hence, they're hardly miniature anymore. Nevertheless, these Houses certainly shelter some of the catchiest folk pop tunes around and you'd best be wary of them as their debut record is fast approaching.
Well, there you have it. As with most of our shows at pehrspace, complimentary food and beverage will be served, but feel free to bring your own potent potables if you care to. Again, this show starts and ends early, which will allow you to see all the other great shows happening around town on Sunday. Hope you can make it.
