| Thursday I had planned to check out the East Village Block Party; featuring a skate jam, some vendors, a beer garden, and a couple of the festival's hottest EDM musicians. Since that didn't kick off until 4PM, I ventured out to Inglewood to find The Area. It was a hip scene featuring a vegetable garden, caesars, hot dogs, art, and an old shed where bands were performing. I stumbled across Vancouver's Korean Gut and absolutely fell in love. Their infectious surf garage rock and shed-stomping pop songs had The Area packed -- people were peering in the windows and lined up out the doorway just to get a peek at what all the hype was about. The young four-piece, two guys/two girls ensemble were a thrill to watch perform, with a chemistry that just works. The drummer is the happiest girl I’ve ever seen and she kills it on percussion. |
