Our Pick: Saturdays Off The 405 feat. Dawes @ The Getty Center (FREE!)
Tonight Spanish singer-songwriter Pablo Díaz-Reixa, who performs under the pseudonym El Guincho, will be headlining Spaceland with local indie rockers the Holloys in anticipation of his latest series of limited edition EPs. LA-based alternative folk duo Freddy & Francine are poised to grace the Bootleg Theater. And, lastly, Ventura's own indie rockers Franklin for Short, who recently concluded a stint with Kings of Convenience and released their sixth studio-album entitled Dark Cloud, will be performing for free, in-store at Origami Vinyl. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Getty Center to catch local alt-rock act Dawes, who will be performing for this month's edition of 'Saturdays Off The 405.'
Dawes - "Love Is All I Am"
Support for LAist comes from
El Guincho - "Cuerpo Sin Alma"
Freddy & Francine - "Brownstone Alley"
Franklin For Short - "Waterfall"

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.
