Empire of the Sun @ the Fonda on 06.30.19

Empire of the Sun perform at the Fonda Theatre on 06.30.19.
I was going to start the weekend with some coverage of last week's Pasadena Daydream festival, featuring The Cure, Pixies, Joy Formidable, Chelsea Wolfe, and a number of other acts.

Just Like Heaven @ Queen Mary Events Park on 05.04.19.
Just a heads up. I've divided this entry into two parts, the first being tonight's post, the second following sometime in the next few days. I've got a couple of Chemical Brothers shows to attend the following two days, and my work schedule is as busy as ever. So part two will happen when it …
