Unfortunately, The World Realized Lake Street Dive is Very Good
You require more proof that you should be going to more shows, Humboldt? Here is that.
A little over two years ago a soul-jazzy little band called Lake Street Dive was enjoying some measure of viral video success after their cover of the Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back,” became the “Well that was nice,” musical clip of summer 2013. In September of that year, LSD rolled through Humboldt and played a show at HumBrews. Price of admission: $10.
Fast forward to modern day: Lake Street Dive has continued to build a fanbase through heavy touring, TV appearances and by being a genuinely impressive, refreshing musical entity. When they return to Humboldt Thursday night you will note that they have graduated, so to speak, to the Van Duzer Theatre stage. Price of admission: $46 (well, $15 if you’re an HSU student).
Lesson (maybe): Get your sounds while they’re cheap and undiscovered. LSD released a new album of original material last year. Check the clip below to get a sample of what they’ve been up to.
