Review | The Milk Carton Kids, Haley Heynderickx Leave Lobero Audience in Awe

At the Lobero on August 31, the Milk Carton Kids put on an intimate, delicate yet gritty performance. They took advantage of playing a small venue by engaging with the audience whenever they could. The dry banter between bandmates Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan has become somewhat of a staple for their live shows.

“This may be the weirdest part of any show we’ve done — ever,” Ryan laments after engaging the audience in an impromptu quiz about Pasadena. “We’re quizzing the audience on questions about another city.”

“Why are you doing this?” Pattengale asks.
