September 16, 2025
It was the last weekend of the summer, and Mac DeMarco had managed to pack a 25-song set into this Saturday, August 30th performance (the second consecutive day of three) at The Greek Theater. DeMarco is currently touring across 17 countries and has 82 upcoming concerts. This was DeMarco’s follow-up set of appearances at The Greek after performing July of last year for a similar three-day stretch. Mac Demarco arrived on stage to a chill round of applause, his crowd already well versed in the etiquette of his intimate sets. Demarco’s career spanning show included most of the tracks off his newly released album, Guitar, as well as fan favorites: Salad Days, For The First Time and a pre-encore show closer: Chamber Of Reflection. related: The 4th Wave Of Garage Rock In Los Angeles – A Retrospective The new songs showcase Demarco’s ability to give a classic croon, while maintaining the full attention of his adoring mostly-female Latina audience. Demarco bravely began debuting the sets new songs earlier this week, which gave the audience just enough time to learn the words to new fan favorites “Shining”, “Home” and “Rock And Roll”, though, not surprisingly he got a much louder reception

FYF Fest 2017 Steals Coachella’s Throne As So-Cal’s Premiere Festival

My bones are still rattling and recovering from Capn’ Jazz’s sold out set at The Echo Thursay night. So much so that I limp across the edges of Exposition Park, and marvel at the crowd as I walk into my first FYF fest. The festival has grown dramatically since it’s early days as a showcase for DIY and up and coming local punk acts in 2004. It’s so comfortably warm walking through the LA coliseum on the outskirts circling the festival that I skip my normal routine of stealing water bottles and go straight to the pit. Related Content: FYF Presents: The Glorious Return of Cap’n Jazz At The Echo In an impromptu pow wow we map out our weekend and get ready to go watch Badbadnotgood- a band I’ve been following since their second album BBNG2 began getting the well-deserved buzz it received nearly five years ago.
