Last Thursday, we were asked (or was it reminded?) to book a show for this Tuesday at The Satellite. Six days to book a whole night at a 250-capacity club sounded like booker suicide but we love a challenge (know what I'm saying, ladies?). The plan was to ask a bunch of our favorite bands that haven't played the club in awhile then call it a day. Three bands down, we lightly poked and prodded around to find a fourth with one poke leading to Ms. Ida Maria.
If you follow Ms. Ida on Twitter (like you should), you'd know that she's been an L.A. resident for the last several months (as noted by the location "Heaven" in her profile). That was enough on our part to start suggesting that she do a show to make that fact known to the world and after much cyberbegging this will be that show. We don't do high profile shows with internationally known rock goddesses very often but we're willing to take the heat for this one. If you haven't seen this lady live you need to. And if you have seen her, she's been on record-making hiatus for some time so you know she's got some pent up energy to let loose and she'll likely be playing a ton of new songs. Joining her will be a few of L.A.'s finest in El Elle (the stunning new band from The Lovemakers Lisa Light who recently moved to town), Tenlons Fort (featuring members of Avi Buffalo, Seasons, and whoever else joins Jack on stage), and The Health Club (undoubtedly, the most underrated/underappreciated band in Los Angeles that we've been wanting to do another show with for years).
This show is going to be fun. We hope you like fun.
