Ty Segall will be performing tonight at the Smell | Picture via Ty Segall's Myspace
Our Pick: Ty Segall, YellowFever, Royal Bathe, Moonhearts @ The Smell
Tonight Brooklyn-bred hip hop artist and Definitive Jux co-founder/owner/CEO, Jamie Meline, better known by his stage name El-P, will be headlining the Airliner for this week's edition of Low End Theory in celebration of his recently released mixtape—2010's Weareallgoingtoburninhellmegamixxx3. San Diegan lo-fi/noise pop outfit Wavves, who just released their third studio-album entitled King of the Beach, are poised to take on Madame Wong's in what will unfortunately be one of the venue's final shows; The former Chinatown restaurant-turned-punk concert hall will shutter its doors permanently soon hereafter. And, lastly, Ventura's own indie rockers Franklin for Short, who concluded a stint with Kings of Convenience not long ago and released their sixth studio-album entitled Dark Cloud, will be performing at the Bootleg Theater, warming up the stage for the Elected bassist Michael Runion. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Smell in Downtown to catch San Franciscan psych-infused garage rocker Ty Segall, who is touring in support of his latest tour de force—2010's Melted. LAist favorites, Austinites Yellowfever and Bay Area garage rockers Moonhearts are slated to kick things 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.
