LA LOM (Los Angeles League of Musicians) "Live At Thalia Hall"

La Lom's concert at Thalia Hall in March 2024 was a special night. Just a few months before, they had played a sold-out night at the Empty Bottle in Chicago. The crowd was so enthusiastic and the demand to get into that show was so high that the group knew Chicago was an important place for their music. Having graduated from playing little bars and dance parties in Los Angeles to big theaters within the span of about 6 months, La Lom had a strong desire to keep the energy of the tightly packed spaces in LA that shaped their music, no matter where we were playing. They accomplished that at Thalia Hall in Chicago. Built a round bright red stage and put it right in the middle of the room, the hall was completely packed, and there were people on all sides of the round stage dancing and screaming loudly, even getting up on stage with us and dancing for certain songs.

Jacob Butler (sometimes referred to as the 4th member of La Lom) recorded all the videos they had made from the start. He was there at Thalia Hall, shooting from all sides of the stage and capturing the crowd as well. Also recorded on tape, La Lom were left with great live footage from one of their most exciting shows to date. A combination of original songs along with covers of classic cumbia from Colombia, Peru and Mexico, plus an old soul ballad from Smokey Robinson. Released for the first time on vinyl, exclusively for Record Store Day 2025, this LP is pressed on translucent red vinyl to match the color of the round stage with a piece of the Marley flooring from the show tucked into each record.
