PBW Presents: untitled (halo) - California Melancholia Tour
The Echo1822 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles 90026
The Echo hosts untitled (halo) on the California Melancholia Tour. The available bill names the band but does not name any additional performers or describe a support slot, guest appearance, release celebration, or other special format for the evening. Expect a set from a group whose recorded work moves through shoegaze, dream pop, noise, and experimental rock, with texture and contrast central to the sound.
untitled (halo) are a Los Angeles band. Earlier descriptions present them as a trio of Jack Dione, Ariana Mamnoon, and Jay Are, while more recent coverage also names Nicholas Noneman, so their reported lineup has changed or differs between sources. They have opened for Bar Italia on its California tour and appeared on the Road Less Traveled 2 compilation alongside Nourished By Time and Coined. The FADER calls their music “deeply felt and utterly addictive.” Writing about a live set, Blurred Culture noted a “hypnotic aura” and “sense of unpredictability,” while Clash heard one song shift from “raw, lo-fi sonics to something angelic and ethereal.”
The Echo’s claim to fame is its track record as a launchpad for Los Angeles artists: its long-running Monday Night Music series helped early acts find an audience. Today it remains an active live-music club in Echo Park, in the upstairs room of a two-venue complex. The stage sits close to a compact general-admission floor, with a bar alongside; most events are standing, though seating may be available first come, first served, depending on the show. On-site food and drinks are available, and the venue recommends checking the individual listing for seating and age rules. Expect a ticketed gig with the crowd gathered around the performance, and room to step outside to the patio between sets. The venue is on Sunset Boulevard, amid Echo Park’s dining options.
