Deer Tick at Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles

Deer Tick have built a long career on songs that swing between barroom swagger and quiet heartbreak. On October 9 the Providence, Rhode Island band lands at Teragram Ballroom, and it belongs on any short list of LA concerts worth leaving the house for this month.

What to expect

The band is known for a loose, loud and emotional live show. Gravel-voiced vocals, twangy guitars and a rock-and-roll streak keep the set from ever settling into one mood. A Deer Tick night can go from a sing-along chorus to a hushed ballad and back to a ragged guitar blowout, which is a big part of why fans keep returning to see them live.

If you like bands that sound a little dangerous in a room this size, this is your kind of Friday. Teragram is built for that: a mid-size hall where the stage is close and the crowd is usually there for the music, not the scene.

Getting there

Teragram Ballroom sits on the edge of downtown Los Angeles, west of the core, so it works well with the Metro or a rideshare drop-off. Parking nearby fills up on show nights, which makes a transit or rideshare plan the easier call. Doors usually open well before the headliner, so arriving early gets you a better spot and a chance to catch whoever opens.
