Alberta Cross will be performing tonight at the Troubadour | Picture via Alberta Cross' Myspace
Our Pick: Alberta Cross, Dead Confederate, Red Cortez @ Troubadour
Tonight London-based indie rock quartet the Clientele will be headlining the Echoplex with none other than LAist favorite, local experimental psych folk duo Gangi's (LAist Review). LA-based indie pop quartet Robotanists are slated to perform for free, in-store at Origami Vinyl. And, lastly, local singer-songwriter Sara Radle, who you've invariably come to know through Walking Sleep, the venerable local indie rock outfit formerly known as the Flying Tourbillon Orchestra (LAist Review, #2, #3), will be gracing Casey's Irish Pub & Grill, ringing in her debut studio album with smack-dab in the middle of Downtown. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Troubadour to catch Brooklyn-via-London-via-Sweden rock revivalists Alberta Cross. LAist favorites, local indie rockers Athens-based psych rockers Dead Confederate and Red Cortez (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4) are slated to kick things off.

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.
