One of the most celebrated and talked about reunions of the year is of the band Ride, particularly after their Coachella set last weekend. The band performs at Humphrey's By the Bay for the second standing room only show at the concert grounds this new season. Around town, the Grammy-winning group Clean Bandit perform at the Observatory North Park with vocalist Jess Glynne, Ratatat bring their party to House of Blues, and El Haru Kuroi, an East LA collective blending Latin and African music, will be at the Casbah.
