Our Pick: Holly Miranda, Yellow Red Sparks, Big Moves @ Bootleg Theater
Tonight local psych-infused indie rockers Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (LAist Interview) will be headlining the Echoplex with Athens' own garage rock revivalists the Whigs in tow, ringing in their first full length in over two years—2010's Beat The Devil's Tattoo. LA-bred indie rock outfit the Happy Hollows (LAist Review, #2, #3) is poised to grace the Troubadour. And, lastly, San Francisco-by-way-of-Santa Cruz psych-tinged rock sextet Sleepy Sun will be performing at the Echo with none other than local rock and roll outfit Slang Chickens. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Bootleg Theater to catch burgeoning LA-based jazz-infused indie rock act Big Moves. Buzz-worthy Brooklyn-bred singer-songwriter Holly Miranda is slated to headline.
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.
