David Kushner at Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles
Chicago native David Kushner took the stage at the Hollywood Palladium on Friday, November 22nd, for his second night of The Dichotomy Tour in Los Angeles, California.
Henrik started the night off by opening for Kushner and brought South Jersey music to Southern California. Henrik is no stranger to viral success on social media. Among his feel-good music, he performed his hit “Half of Forever”, which became a trending song online. He even brought out a surprise guest, Noah Kahan. Well, not really, but he did a surprise cover of “Stick Season”, and the crowd went wild.
Kushner graced the stage, starting the night off with “Darkerside”, a track from his most recent album, The Dichotomy.
He put out his first song, “Miserable Man”, in 2022, and it was his first song to go viral on social media. Continuing to put out successful and meaningful music, he released “Daylight” in 2023, changing the trajectory of his career and his first song to have over one billion streams on Spotify. The song tells the story of one’s struggle between good and evil and is based on biblical references he learned as a child.
After performing a few songs from his current project, he takes us back with a song from his 2022 album, Footprints I Found, “Mr. Forgettable”. He tells the audience it is about his Grandfather, who passed away from Alzheimer’s.
Continuing to take the audience on a story with his music, he talks about his next song, “Burn”, which is about an abusive relationship. His vulnerable lyrics and unique tone stand out to his fans, and his voice soared through the venue.
Each song he sang told a story, but one common thread was his faith. He shared with his fans that his faith is rooted in his music and how important it is to him, which shined through his performances.
He ended the night with “You and Me”. But what about the songs I mentioned earlier? The show wasn’t over as he walked back on stage for an encore of “Miserable Man” and “Daylight”. The crowd went wild, screaming, “Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time.”
Another great night for music in Los Angeles.

Joost Klein Brings World Tour With Chaos and Heart in Vancouver
Fresh off two sets at Coachella 2026 — a historic milestone as the first Dutch-language artist to ever grace that stage — Joost Klein brought his world tour to Vancouver’s Harbour Event & Convention Centre on Monday night. If the Southern California desert crowds were a warm-up, Vancouver got the real thing.
From the opening notes of Ome Robert to a euphoric, arms-in-the-air Europapa, Klein delivered nearly 30 songs worth of controlled chaos. The Frisian artist operates in a genuinely singular space, somewhere between Dutch hardcore, punk fury, and emotionally devastating party music. And the packed room at Harbour centre felt every single frequency. Sweat was basically precipitation by the midpoint of the set.
The mosh pits were, predictably, unhinged. Klein summons that energy. Circle pits tore open during Gabberland and BOOM BOOM!!!!!, and the crowd obliged every invitation. Yet between the mayhem, there were quieter moments. A gorgeous Zonder Jou hushed the room before Klein rebuilt the roof again.
Highlights were abundant: a wild TRAFIK! (his take on Käärijä’s banger), and an abridged Friesenjung that turned into a full remix by the encore.
This is a guy who started as a teenage Dutch YouTuber, got disqualified from Eurovision 2024 for comments that some judged controversial, and somehow ended up headlining a world tour on five continents. Nobody saw it coming, Klein included. The rest of the world better be ready for this tour.
Joost Klein will be on tour in North America, Europe and Australia until December 2026. Head to his website for all the information.

Wheatus Play their Debut Album in Full at The Pearl in Vancouver
On April 13, Wheatus rolled into Vancouver and made a strong case that they’ve outgrown rooms like The Pearl. The show was sold out, shoulder-to-shoulder, and honestly felt like it could’ve filled the Commodore Ballroom across the street without breaking a sweat.
Opening support from Chief State and Brain Bent set the tone early, but once Brendan B. Brown and company hit the stage, the night turned into a loose, fan-driven ride. True to form, the band leaned into spontaneity, pulling from a deep catalogue with help from the crowd, before the show even started. “Leroy,” “Truffles,” and “Wannabe Gangstar” landed fast, while “Hump’Em N’ Dump’Em” slipped in a cheeky nod to Madonna.
Covers were a big part of the night. Their take on Erasure’s “A Little Respect” turned into a full-room singalong, complete with a “My Girl” tag, and “Basket Case” by Green Day brought a jolt of energy mid-set. A Canadian highlight came with “My Music at Work,” a respectful nod to The Tragically Hip that hit especially well with the local crowd, followed later by a heartfelt “Time Stand Still” from Rush.
The deeper cuts, “Lemonade,” “Fourteen,” and “I’d Never Write a Song About You, ”showed the band’s range, balancing humour with real vulnerability. Then came “Teenage Dirtbag.” No surprise, it turned into mass karaoke, with every fan in the room locked in from the first line.
Instead of ending big, they closed small. Brown returned alone for an off-mic acoustic “Desperate Songs,” quiet enough that you could hear the room breathe. It was a simple finish that summed up the night: warm and completely in sync with the crowd.
