Our Pick: Alice Russell, Jesca Hoop @ The Hotel Café
Tonight pop songstress Alanis Morissette will be stopping by the Orpheum Theatre in Downtown. LA Locals West Indian Girl are continuing their residency at Spaceland. Long Island rockers Taking Back Sunday are playing the virginal Club Nokia with Sweden's own the (International) Noise Conspiracy. Prodigious art rockers And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead will be rocking out at the Echo. And, lastly, San Diego's Crocodiles, who are best known as the phoenix that rose from ashes of TPTBUTET and the Prayers, will be performing at the Smell—Yes, that is in fact Kristen Gundred of Grand Ole Party's hubby. But we suggest heading over to the Hotel Café to catch British chanteuse Alice Russell in action. She'll be belting out soulful notes in support of 2008's Pot Of Gold.

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.
