Tonight In Rock: Cat Power, Cradle of Filth, thenewno2, Illa J
()
Illa J will be playing tonight at Amoeba Records | Picture via Illa J'sMyspace
Our Pick: Illa J @ Amoeba Music (Early Show; 7 PM)
Tonight Atlanta-based singer-songwriter Cat Power will be concluding a two-night stint at the Avalon with local psych-rockers the Entrance Band. Suffolk's own metal heads Cradle of Filth are slated to rock the Henry Fonda Music Box. And, lastly, Dhani Harrison's thenewno2 will be performing at the Key Club. But today marks the 3 year anniversary of famed hip hop producer/DJ J Dilla's untimely death. We strongly suggest heading over to Amoeba Records on Sunset to commemorate his wondrous life with the beats of his younger brother Illa J. Raise it up for Ma Dukes!

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.
