Friday Pilots Club headline at El Cid in Silver Lake, with SAYAK DAS also on the bill. The Chicago group brings its guitar-based sound to Los Angeles, drawing on the material that has built their following through a run of EPs and singles as well as their 2024 full-length debut, Nowhere.
Formed in Chicago in 2017, Friday Pilots Club are known for music described as “soulfully moody” and “sonically textured,” with guitars at its core. Their path to Nowhere followed several buzzed-about EPs and singles, establishing a catalog that balances atmosphere and texture within a band format.
El Cid pairs live entertainment with a long-running Spanish dining and flamenco tradition: the venue’s own history traces its entertainment roots to 1925, while its restaurant dates its present Spanish identity to 1962. The historic interior is described as a Spanish tavern, with dark wood beams, brick and tile, and winding staircases; patios offer a place to eat before the show. A full restaurant serves tapas and entrees, including paella and gambas, and the bar serves drinks. The events calendar lists concerts and parties, while flamenco remains a defining part of the programme. Check the listing for your show’s ticket and seating details, since the available information does not establish a single format for every event. El Cid’s current site gives its address as 4212 W Sunset Blvd in Silver Lake.
