Tonight In Rock: Cursive, Richard Swift, The Mae Shi, Crooked Cowboy & the Freshwater Indians

Richard Swift will be playing tonight at Spaceland | Picture via Richard Swift's Myspace
Our Pick: Richard Swift, Dappled Cities, We Barbarians @ Spaceland
Tonight prolific Nebraska-based indie rock outfit Cursive will be spending their last night in LA at the Troubadour. Local experimental rockers the Mae Shi are poised to perform at the relatively hole-and-corner Pehrspace for a local blogger's birthday, Mouse of Classical Geek Theatre. And, lastly, Highland Park's own deep crooner Crooked Cowboy & the Freshwater Indians will be gracing the Echoplex with Gram Rabbit and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. Of course, we recommend trekking over to Meet Mix Mogul to catch Meiko and Evan Way of the Parson Red Heads, who will be playing for the third night of local photography exhibit Exposure. But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland to catch local singer-songwriter Richard Swift. Sydney's own indie rock buzz band Dappled Cities are slated to kick the show off.

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.
