Darker My Love will be performing tonight at the Bootleg Theater | Picture via Darker My Love's Myspace
Our Pick: Darker My Love's record release, Wounded Lion, My Pet Saddle @ Bootleg Theater
Tonight the Killers front man Brandon Flowers, who only recently announced that he would be embarking on the solo path, will be performing to a very sold-out house at Troubadour. Local indie pop outfit the Parson Red Heads (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4) are poised to take on Spaceland with none other than Cotton Jones in tow. And, lastly, LA-bred psych rockers Dead Meadow, who recently rung in their latest endeavor, 2010's feature-length film and soundtrack Three Kings, will be gracing the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Bootleg Theater to catch local psych rockers Darker My Love, who will be ringing in their third studio-album—2010's Alive As You Are.

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.
