Our Pick: Low End Theory w/ Shlohmo, Ernest Gonzales @ The Airliner
Tonight Chicago-based pop punk outfit Alkaline Trio will be headlining the House of Blues Sunset in Hollyweird with Omaha-based indie rockers Cursive in tow. Local country-infused folk, twin-sister duo the Watson Twins (LAist Review, #2) are poised to grace the Bootleg Theater with none other than Long Beach's own pop songstress (and general lass) Jessica Dobson—otherwise known as Deep Sea Diver (LAist Review). And, lastly, the City of Brotherly Love's own experimental synth-pop outfit Cold Cave will be taking on the Glass House in Pomona with Chicago-bred garage rock outfit Smith Westerns, local lo-fi pop act Best Coast and Long Beach/Los Alamitos natives and recent Sub Pop signees Avi Buffalo (LAist Interview, Review). But we strongly suggest heading over to the Airliner in Lincoln Heights to catch Texan experimental electronic guru Ernest Gonzales, who will be performing for this week's edition of Low End Theory.
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which (generally) 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.
