Tonight In Rock: Beach House, Rancid, Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip

Beach House will be headlining Spaceland tonight | "Devotion" By Liz Flyntz via Beach House's Myspace
Our Pick: Beach House, Lazarus, Shugo Tokumaru @ Spaceland
Tonight LA is bereft of noteworthy shows. Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip, an Essex-based collaborative effort between Dan Stephens and David Meads respectively, will be doling out madcaps beats, flows and breaks at the Echo. If you're feeling brazen, then we recommend heading out to Long Beach to catch the Western States Motel at the Prospector. It'll surely be worth the drive. But for those who want to see a great show close to home, we suggest Beach House at Spaceland. The Baltimore-bred duo—who are generally characterized for their drone of hollow lo-fi drums, rich, almost baritone vocals, and jangly organs—will leave you in a wintry, angelic stupor.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
