Description

Bowl Season has began here in LA this past weekend with a slew of shows from John Fogerty over the 4th Holiday weekend and capping it off is Seattle’s Indie band Death Cab for Cutie. Now Ben Gibbard is an amazing musician and while I like Death Cab I’ve always loved his side project The Postal Service more.  The opening acts last night were the New Pornographers, and Tegan and Sara, identical twins who are great live. Kate and I hopped on the park and ride bus like any seasoned Bowl’er would do as the parking at the venue is worse than a Dodger game on a Friday night. We picniced before the show like most people do when visiting the bowl and enjoyed sandwiches, salads, and a few glasses of wine and beer.  The show itself was a good opener for the season, a good mix of folk and indie music to balance the gorgeous weather we have been hit with lately.  There was even fireworks for the final song. Upcoming Bowl shows wil be Serio Mendes, Incubus, Reggae Night, Jewel, and Beastie Boys.
