Tonight In Rock: Beck, Cut Copy, Sara Bareilles, Akron/Family, Birds & Batteries

Cut Copy will be playing tonight at the Henry Fonda Music Box | Picture via Cut Copy's Myspace
Our Pick: Cut Copy, Matt & Kim, Knightlife, DJ Daisy O'Dell @ Henry Fonda Music Box (Sold-Out)
Tonight LA-based singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles (LAist Review) will be performing to a sold-out crowd at the Hotel Café. Pennsylvania-bred experimental folk outfit Akron/Family are poised to play the second night of a three-date stint at the Steve Allen Theater. And, lastly, San Franciscan alt-rockers Birds & Batteries will be playing at the the Smell. But we strongly suggest you do whatever it takes to catch Melbourne-based electro pop buzz band Cut Copy, who will be concluding a sold-out two-date stint at the Henry Fonda Music Box Club Nokia (note the last minute venue change). Brooklyn's own dance punk duo Matt & Kim are slated to kick off the show.

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.
