We Barbarians will be performing tonight at Spaceland | Picture via We Barbarians' Myspace
Our Pick: We Barbarians, Ezra Furman & the Harpoons, Tijuana Panthers, The Romany Rye @ Spaceland (FREE!)
Tonight Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist Andrew Bird (LAist Review) will be concluding a two-night stint at Largo at the Coronet. Two of the most prominent women in indie folk rock, Mirah and Thao Nguyen, are poised to combine forces, backing one another at the Bootleg Theater in what will invariably be deemed a once-in-a-lifetime experience. And, lastly, local electro pop singer-songwriter Evan Voytas will be gracing the Silver Lake Lounge. But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland to catch Long Beach-based indie rockers We Barbarians, who will be kicking off a free month-long residency. LAist favorites, Long Beach's own surf punk trio Tijuana Panthers (LAist Interview, Review), local folk rockers the Romany Rye and Chicagoan indie rock quartet Ezra Furman and the Harpoons are slated to perform as well.
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.
