Turnover bring 'Down on Earth' to the Hollywood Palladium Wednesday

The dream-pop band's first independent album hits Sunset Boulevard Nov. 11, with Nothing and Trauma Ray making it a three-band night worth arriving early for.

There is a particular kind of crowd that shows up early for a Turnover show: people who know the support bands, who want the haze of Trauma Ray before the room fills, who will stand through Nothing's wall of guitars and still have patience for the headliner's slow-burning grooves. Wednesday at the Hollywood Palladium is built for that crowd.

Turnover plays the Hollywood Palladium on Wednesday, Nov. 11, with Nothing and Trauma Ray in support. The show starts at 6:30 p.m., an early call that tells you the openers are worth catching rather than skipping. Tickets run $47.50–$75.50 through Ticketmaster, and the Palladium holds 5,000, so this is one of the bigger rooms on the run.

The date is part of the band's Down on Earth Tour, a 29-date North American headline run that opened Nov. 3 at Bogart's in Cincinnati and wraps Dec. 10 at The Orange Peel in Asheville. After Hollywood, the tour heads straight up to Oakland on Nov. 12. Nothing and Trauma Ray are on the whole run, which means this is a bill the band built on purpose rather than a rotating cast of local openers.

The record behind it matters. *Down on Earth*, released May 29, is Turnover's first independent release after leaving Run for Cover, and it was produced by the band's longtime front-of-house engineer, Zac Montez. That choice tracks with the album's stated goal: capture how the band actually sounds on a stage. Spectrum Culture's review called it the band's freest and boldest work in years, noting that it juggles more styles than they've attempted on a single album while a live feel keeps it grounded. Songs like "Nightjar" and "I See You And Realize" are the ones to listen for if you want to hear how the new material sits next to the older catalog.

That is the real reason to go Wednesday. A record engineered by the person who mixes the band every night is, in a sense, a record made for rooms like this one. The Palladium is a big, flat-floored ballroom, the kind of space where a band leaning on groove and texture rather than volume either fills the air or gets swallowed. Turnover have spent this album cycle arguing they can fill it.

The openers are no afterthought. Nothing have long been one of the heavier, louder names in the shoegaze revival, and Trauma Ray deal in the same blurred, fuzzed-out guitar sound. Put them in front of Turnover and the night becomes a tour through a whole corner of guitar music that has had a very good few years, from the heavy end down to the dreamy one.

There's also a local angle in the numbers: in our records, Turnover play Los Angeles — Hollywood & Central more than any other market. Whatever the reason, this city keeps showing up for them, and the band keeps coming back to play bigger rooms here.

A few practical notes. With a 6:30 start on a weeknight, plan your route to Sunset early; Hollywood traffic and parking near the Palladium do not get easier as the evening goes on. If you only know Turnover, give the first two bands a chance. If you came for Nothing, stay for the headliner's set; the new songs were made to be heard live.

Wednesday's the night. Get there before the lights go down on Trauma Ray, and let the room fill in around you.
