As a new blogger as well as a new and foreign student (yes, it all amounts to a very confused image), I have been spending some time trying to figure out why everyone who returns from LA to Europe can never stop raving about how incredibly awesome it is.
Three weeks in, I must admit that I am slowly falling for the different scenarios that this place has to offer, not in the least because of its vibrant music scene. As a music major, this factor alone combined with the glorious weather (which I assure you is not something we are used to in England) and the general kindness of people I have come to know here, kind of makes me never want to leave again.
Alas, as an exchange student one year is all I get, and thus I intend to make the most out of the experiences Los Angeles and Oxy itself has to offer. For one, I see a chance to see some of my favorite bands and artists perform live, and while browsing through this fall's concert calendar I was amazed at the variety of gigs going on around here.
So just for brief overview, here is a small selection of the gigs that caught my attention. Always good to have something to look forward to in between all the studying!
