Laura Jane Grace and the Trama Tropes w/Pet Needs @Scala - November 27, 2024

 

Couldn't miss this show, as my concert buddy knows the lead singer, Johnny, in the openers, Pet Needs. He's a massive Against Me!/LJG fan, so extra special to see him opening for her. He was obviously pretty awed about living out his dream.

 

I remember briefly bumping into him at our first AM! show together, back in 2014, before he formed his band - obvs a huge influence on them.

This is also the first time I've seen LJG, since her new wife joined her ever-changing and renamed band.

 

About 1/2 and1/2 LGJ newer stuff and then old AM! stuff.
