30 Days in LA is a month of 70+ can’t miss artists in venues throughout Los Angeles, exclusive to Red Bull Sound Select members all November. With an advertisement of 30 concerts each day in November, the Red Bull Sound Select lineup offers a wide set of musical acts. Supported with artists like: Isaiah Rashad, AlunaGeorge, YG, Jhene Aiko, Haim, Pusha T, Nick Murphy (Chet Faker), the task of selected a show to attend can be difficult. Having attended a show at the Belasco Theater in part of last year's 30 Days in LA, I thought I would continue the tradition and attend a show this year.
I attended day 14, which consisted of Chattanooga-rapper Isaiah Rashad, alongside Australian native Sampa the Great and the Aussie band, Mansionair. Being a huge Isaiah Rashad fan and the fact that the ticket only costed twenty dollars, it was a no-brainer to be a part of this year's 30 days in LA celebration. Performing songs from both his projects; "Cilvia Demo" and his new album, "The Sun's Tirade", Isaiah Rashad had the crowd moving from start to finish, as expected.
Beside the great set from Isaiah Rashad, the surprising performance of the night came from the Aussie-trio, Mansionair. Although I was not familiar with any of their songs, I enjoyed their set very much and walked out of the Echoplex as a fan. But that is exactly what Red Bull Sound Select's 30 Days in LA is all about; experiencing and exposing emerging music to fans that care.
Shout out to Red Bull Sound Select for a great show, as always, and for the free parking.
