Tonight In Rock: HEALTH, Abe Vigoda, The Flying Tourbillon Orchestra

HEALTH will take part in a rather raucous venture tonight at the Knitting Factory | Picture via HEALTH's Myspace
Our Pick: Genghis Tron, HEALTH, Yip Tip, Clipd Beaks @ Knitting Factory
Tonight we suggest you take a walk on the wild side. Start things off at Amoeba Records, where LA locals Abe Vigoda will be performing songs from 2008's Skeleton. The band's third album to date is an eye-opening, punk-infused tour de force. Then we recommend heading over to the Knitting Factory for what will undoubtedly be referred to as the noisiest lineup to come through town in some time. NY-based Ghengis Tron, Florida-based Yip Tip, LA's own Clipd Beaks and, of course, hometown noise heroes HEALTH are slated to take turns raping and pillaging your eardrums without restraint.

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.
