Tonight In Rock: Brian Eno, Mount Eerie, Frightened Rabbit, The Happy Hollows

Mount Eerie will be performing tonight at Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock | Picture via Mount Eerie's Myspace
Our Pick: Mount Eerie, Karl Blau, No Kids, Tara Jane O'Neil @ Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock (2225 Colorado Blvd., Los Angeles)
Tonight legendary English musician/producer Brian Eno will be giving a lecture at Cal State Long Beach's Carpenter Performing Arts Center. LA-based indie rockers the Happy Hollows (LAist Review, #2, #3) are poised to grace the Lobster Fest in San Pedro with none other than Joshua Tree-based indie rockers Gram Rabbit (LAist Review). And, lastly, Scottish rock act Frightened Rabbit will be performing with fellow Scots the Twilight Sad and We Were Promised Jetpacks. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock to catch Washington-bred lo-fi folk maestro Mount Eerie.
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.
