Los Angeles, CA- Later’s better than never, right?

Back in September, I covered Lauren Ruth Ward’s record release show at the Bootleg. I got to the venue early enough to catch the opening acts, but I hadn’t had the time to get anything up on those performances until now.

Truth be told, I was reminded of the fact that I had photographs of Laura Jean Anderson’s performance over the weekend while I was in Echo Park prior to covering another gig. I saw her posting up some fliers for an upcoming show at the Bootleg (12/8). I would have said, “Hi,” but I didn’t really know her and didn’t want to creep her out, but I decided to search my hard drive for those photos and listen to some of her music to re-acclimate myself with her music.

That’s when I found her track “Full of X’s”.


This track has some seriously good energy. I love the tempo, and the spitfire lyrical delivery presented with a clean, sassy vocal tone. I also love the way the Vampire Weekend-esque intro morphs in the a rockin’ little ditty that clocks in at a brisk 2 minutes and 22 seconds. The song is almost not long enough, which was evident to me with the number of times I had to replay the track.

This song came out over a year ago. But good music doesn’t get old, right? Better late than never!

Follow Laura Jean Anderson on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and check her out at the Bootleg Theater on December 8th!
