Valley bring Moody Joody to The Bellwether for this Los Angeles date.
The Toronto alternative-pop band formed in 2013 when two bands were double-booked at a recording studio. Their early lineup included vocalist Rob Laska, guitarist Michael Brandolino, bassist Alex Dimauro and drummer/vocalist Karah James; AllMusic describes their sound as “buoyant indie uplift and melodic pop hooks.”
The Bellwether’s defining feature is a broad, 270-degree balcony that wraps around its main room, giving concertgoers a choice of floor or elevated viewing with a view toward the stage. The room has a wooden dance floor, a long bar along the back wall and a custom sound system; shows are general admission, with both the main floor and balcony included in a regular ticket. It is a ticketed live-music venue, and the lineup and door times vary by show. Before doors, you can get sourdough pizza, snacks or a drink at The Virginian, the in-house restaurant and lounge, which opens an hour before doors. The venue is just west of downtown Los Angeles, in Westlake, near the 110 freeway.
