Blondfire at Chinatown Summer Nights

The performers on Chinatown Summer Nights’ Live Music Stage dropped a little Saturday euphoria on a big crowd at what has become one of L.A.’s favorite seasonal hangs. Blondfire capped the night with a dreamy set that mixed songs from their 2014 full-length and their new EP “True Confessions” with some new tunes — and a cover of the Ramones’ “We Want the Airwaves.”

Sophie and the Bom Boms got everybody involved, with Sophie Stern inviting a bunch of fans onstage with her and bandmate David Greenbaum. Much dancing ensued.

Earlier, GROVES, Emerson Star, Swerve and BRAEVES delivered winnings sets, with the latter trio, who are fairly recent transplants from New York, confessing that they’ve developing an L.A. crush. And teenage pop singer Taylor Grey performed songs of her “Mind of Mine” EP along with some choice covers.

Chinatown Summer Nights continued Aug. 20. Watch for a lineup announcement Tuesday.
