Sometimes the best things are at the very end of their existence. Such as a Letlive show in 2025. Singer Jason Aalon Butler is a man of many talents and bands. Pressure Cracks and, most recently, Fever 333. and his former or current project Letlive. was finally saying it’s swan song and bringing the band’s retirement tour to the Wiltern in Los Angeles.

While I ran late to catch up on support acts, I was able to catch BEAUTY SCHOOL DROPOUT. Born out of bedlam in Los Angeles, the band is a hodgepodge of differing personalities, with singer Cole Hutzler bringing out a maniacal side of himself on stage, giving off Ronnie James Dio meets Richard Ramirez vibes. Enough charm and suave and vocal pipes to swoon even the swarthiest of condescending music haters. The band is alternative rock meets 80’s vibes in a warm poppy blanket. Catchy and upbeat. Make sure to see them when they headline larger rooms in the near future.

To say Letlive. is a lively band onstage would be tarnishing how hard they work to put on a show for their fans. The band came out absolutely swinging, their sound, heavy and chuggy, came alive over the old days of the modern Wiltern. Jason is a maniac onstage. Bringing theatrics and hardcore energy to his set, wrapped in flowers and barb wire. After 23 years, the band was finally being sunsetted into pasture, but not without the chaos that is a Letlive. show. The band was absolutely firing on all cylinders, reminding myself of a day when bands had to not only sound great live, but also give every bit of their body into their performance. Jason and the boys in LL do that.

Make sure to catch Jason and whatever iteration of music he is doing in the future, most likely with Fever 333. But if you see Letlive playing anywhere near you, run to get a ticket, and bottle up all that chaos. You might just light the future with it.
