The Menzingers

If you haven’t already inked "The Menzingers" onto your calendar, we need to talk about your life choices. Their "Everything I Ever Saw North American Tour" is riding the rails straight to the heart of L.A. at The Belasco, a venue that feels like it was ripped from the pages of a mid-'90s fanzine and dropped into modern day just for this moment. With a standing room that practically demands you wear your freshest pair of Vans and a vibe thicker than a basement show in a Brooklyn winter, this is where you want to be on a nondescript weekday night. Doors crack open at 6 PM, but get there early—who knows which of the scene’s underground legends will be spotted exchanging obscure band pins in the Early Entry Lounge. And listen, the support acts are as mysterious as your favorite shoegaze band’s lyrics, promising surprises that make even seasoned gig-goers double-take. So, dust off your denim jacket, prep your best excuse for bailing on whatever else you had planned, and dive headfirst into the sonic whirlwind. The Menzingers at The Belasco might just be the cure for the hipster ennui you didn’t even know you had.
