Tonight In Rock: A Camp, Castledoor, Oliver Future, Charlie Wadhams

Castledoor will be playing tonight at Spaceland | Photo by Koga for LAist
Our Pick: Castledoor, Deep Sea Diver, Gumshoe, Agent Ribbons @ Spaceland (Free!)
Tonight Swedish alternative rock act A Camp, a solo side project of the Cardigans' vocalist Nina Persson, will be headlining the Troubadour. LA-based indie rockers Oliver Future are poised to take on the second night of their month-long residency at the Echo with experimental pop chanteuse Gliss in tow. And, lastly, local singer-songwriter Charlie Wadhams will be performing at the Silver Lake Lounge. But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland, of course, to catch LAist favorites Castledoor (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6) continue their month-long residency. Long Beach's own pop songstress (and general lass) Jessica Dobson will be kicking things off under the pseudonym Deep Sea Diver (LAist Review).
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which goes up every Sunday.

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.
