Sunflower Bean Brings Their Genre Blending Sound to Lodge.Room.

2 min read

Friday, June 6th Lodge.Room presents amazing alt-rock storytellers Sunflower Bean. Bassist and lead vocalist Julia Cumming, guitarist Nick Kivlen and drummer Olive Faber celebrate their tenth anniversary tour in support of their highly acclaimed fourth studio album, Mortal Primetime. The evening is presented by Lodge.Room Highland Park and also features a band Stereogum touted as a band to watch: Gift.

Lodge.Room. is one of Los Angeles’s finest live music venues and cocktail bars housed in a beautifully restored 1922 Masonic Lodge at the corner of Figueroa St. and N. Avenue 56. For dinner before the show check out Checker Hall, the vintage-era Mediterranean bistro next door. They serve an eclectic mix of live music, tasty food, draft beers and cocktails.

Time marches relentlessly on, but it can pass unnoticed unless you find a way to capture it. For the entirety of their remarkable career, Sunflower Bean has made monuments of fleeting moments, by turning them into art, bottling them as song. They broke onto the scene as teens wise beyond their years with Human Ceremony, captured the melancholia of nascent adulthood on Twentytwo in Blue, and confronted the alienation of life under late capitalism on Headful of Sugar. Now in their Saturn Return, the band is back with the most hard-fought and vulnerable album of their career: Mortal Primetime. “You get to decide what your prime is, and you fight for it,” Cumming says. “This is ours, and that can’t be taken away by circumstance. We can’t take it away from each other. This moment, where we are now, is what we’ve always fought for.”

RabbleRouse News LA was excited to learn that at one of Sunflower Bean‘s recent shows in NYC they were joined by @zohrankmamdani and for the record we wish each of them all the best with sweeping electoral and chart topping success. With love from LA. RabbleRouse solidarity is bi-coastal.
