Musical selections from bands who would have played in Los Angeles in April 2020 if not for the COVID-19 pandemic.
Most of these bands did not get to play in Los Angeles due to the closure of venues because of COVID-19, however they are all still worth a listen.
Every week I listen to the majority of bands and artists playing in Los Angeles to decide which shows to recommend for the Los Angeles Weekend Planner. I then create a playlist (or playlists) for that month of the music I liked.
The above are February’s selections.
