[DID NOT ATTEND: October 8, 2024] La Luz / Mia Joy
It fascinates me when multiple shows that I want to see wind up on the same night. It’s a bummer, of course, but weird, like why were there FOUR shows I would have gone to on October 8?
I know La Luz from a live Levitation recording that I really dig. I don’t know a lot more about the band aside from the basic bio. They are from Seattle and are known for their “surf noir” style, with layered vocal harmonies. I didn’t know that their “energetic live shows often include Soul Train-inspired dance contests and crowd surfing.” Which sounds really fun and makes me want to see them even more.
But again, this was the fourth show tonight and the band I knew the least, so I wasn’t going to go to this one.
Mia Joy Rocha, is an American indie rock musician from Oak Park, Illinois. I haven’t heard of her but her music is described as ethereal indie pop that envelops the listener in a shroud of gentle, personal hymns that are both intimate & warmly inviting.
Listening to her stuff, that description seems very apt.
This would have been a delightful show.
