Chinatown Summer Nights with YIP YOPS, Lauren Ruth Ward and Color Caves

The first Chinatown Summer Nights of 2017. I got to see three bands.

YIP YOPS: Youth served. You can tell the band is young. I read somewhere that the keyboardist is 15. Well, maybe she's 16 now. They also got to play Coachella this year. How did such a young band get to play Coachella? Catchy tunes and a high energy set. That's how.

Lauren Ruth Ward: Personable. She hung out after her set, talking with both friends and fans. During her set, she pointed out people in the audience, calling some out by name. As for her set, it bled with emotion.

Color Caves: Flamboyant. This was their second ever set and it was awesome. Of course, what can one expect when the lead singer is from Nightmare and the Cat and the drummer played for Haim. And I just can't place the bassist at the moment. But what I'm saying is that this band is made up of a collective of well known Los Angeles musicians. Highlight of the set: the moves by the lead singer that sent his not exactly long hair flying.
