&a Hailing from Denton, Texas Seryn (Chelsea Bohrer, Aaron Stoner, Nathan Allen, Chris Semmelbeck, Trenton Wheeler) just released their latest addition to the music world This Is Where We Are and the ten tracks are so totally worth the itunes investment. The quintet’s arrangements are an effortless audio treat and the band floating somewhere in
Sometimes you’re looking for a live show in the city of angels and the normal Sunset Strip venues just aren’t going to cut it. GPS yourselves right over to Silverlake tomorrow evening and make sure you get to the Satellite (formerly Spaceland) early (Early- as in before or on time. Not fashionably late. Not change
