Michael Nau (Night 1)
Michael Nau, Breezers
Zebulon2478 Fletcher Drive, Los Angeles 90039
Michael Nau heads to Zebulon for the first night of a billed engagement, with Breezers also on the lineup. Presented by Sid The Cat, the show arrives alongside Nau’s new album, Less Ready To Go. The record was recorded at hi-dez in Joshua Tree, and the listing describes a fast-moving process: each song began with a live take, followed by musicians switching instruments for a live overdub. This is a 21+ evening.
The available event information identifies Michael Nau and Breezers, but supplies no biographical background, previous collaborators, hometown, or critical commentary for either act. What it does establish is Nau’s connection to Less Ready To Go and its live-in-the-room recording approach in Joshua Tree. Breezers is listed as the accompanying performer for the night, with no further details given about the project’s membership or music.
Zebulon offers a unique evening where live music meets a creative café setting, housed in a former bakery with a striking bowstring-truss roof that enhances its sound. The venue features a large stage and a well-stocked bar alongside a menu of pizza, tacos, and small bites, inviting guests to enjoy both the music and casual dining. The room holds a diverse crowd drawn by its adventurous programming, from experimental music to jazz and indie rock, with performances that encourage attentive listening rather than just background noise. A welcoming patio extends the space, and the original 1930s wooden bar adds character. Shows range from ticketed to free, often with a late-night vibe that can include multiple sets or DJ sessions. This spot is a cultural anchor in Frogtown, blending local artistry with international acts in a relaxed yet focused environment.
