On Thursday, April 25, the Los Angeles League of Musicians (LA LOM) will kick off their West Coast tour at the UCR Barn. Hard to define, LA LOM represents more of a vibe than any specific genre. The instrumental trio draws on various Latin styles, jazz, and an occasional nod to country twang. They evoke a fever dream at a tropical cantina, with a pulsing, dare-you-not-to-dance rhythm and singing psychedelic guitar doing most of the work melodically.
LA LOM are a darling. They are building a lot of buzz leading the tour. This is an opportunity to see a band about to explode in popularity on a small stage without LA traffic. Local DJs representing Mucho Gusto will offer opening support. Events at the Barn are from 6–9 p.m. Tickets are $25, and more information is available on The Barn website.
