Tonight In Rock: Animal Collective, Jon Brion, Everest, Mike Watt & the Secondmen

Everest will be playing tonight at the Echo | Photo by Koga for LAist
Our Pick: Everest, The Parson Red Heads, Two Sheds @ The Echo
Tonight Baltimore-based psych rockers Animal Collective will conclude their sold-out two-date stint at the Henry Fonda Music Box, effectively making up for the prior cancellations. Local producer/multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire Jon Brion (LAist Review) is poised to jam with friends at Largo at the Coronet. And, lastly, LAist favorites Mike Watt & the Secondmen will be headlining Spaceland. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echo to catch local alt-rock heroes Everest (LAist Review, #2). LA-based pop rock outfit the Parson Red Heads (LAist Review, #2, #3) 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.
