Things to do
- Belle and Sebastian: Scottish indie pop band Belle and Sebastian have been throwing down upbeat, charming tunes since their very first album Tigermilk in 1996. Their latest (and 12th!) studio album, Late Developers came out last year. They also collaborated with Suki Waterhouse on her 2023 summer b-side, "Every Day’s a Lesson in Humility." Frontman Stuart Murdoch and the band are playing two equally intimate venues downtown across three nights. We love the United Theatre at the Ace for the acoustics and art deco vibe; the Bellwether is one of L.A.’s newer spots to catch live music and is mostly standing room.
