Tonight In Rock: Chris Cornell, Timbaland, The Mountain Goats, The Monolators
()
The Monolators will be playing tonight at Spaceland | Picture via the Monolators' Myspace
Our Pick: The Monolators' DON’T DANCE record release w/ You, Me and Iowa, Summer Darling, Correatown @ Spaceland
Tonight, for some strange reason, Chris Cornell and Timbaland will be performing together at the House of Blues. Don't ask us for an explanation. Durham-based folk rockers the Mountain Goats will be playing the Troubadour with the wild party machine that is Kaki King. And Girl Talk is playing his second night of a two-date stint at the Henry Fonda Music Box. But we suggest heading over to Spaceland to catch LA-based the Monolators. They will be celebrating their record release with an array of other great local bands.

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.
