After a decade of meting out hard rock in the Shrine, Josh Landau has reinvented himself with his genre-melding solo project, Stolen Nova. “Lauren Bacall” is his latest single — riffy, yes, and also sexy.
Happy Sundays, a free festival in Long Beach’s historic Zaferia District on August 26, announces Jake Snider (of Minus the Bear) and the Shrine as headliners, among many other fine local bands.
