Victor Arriola/BFA.com Taylor Goldsmith, the frontman of Dawes, was addressing the crowd from the stage at the grand opening of Pacific Electric, a brand new venue near downtown L.A., when he made it clear that he expects it to be the kind of place to attract loyalists. “if you’re the kind of person who’s here on such sort notice,” he said — referring to a notice that had gone out to industry folks and lottery-selected fans just a couple of days before — “then you’re also the kind of person who’s probably going to be here a lot. So I look forward to all of us being able to share this together.” His band then played its signature sing-along, “When My Time Comes,” to help usher in a club whose time seems to have come, and, after six years in the making, not a musical moment too soon.
