Tonight In Rock: Everlast, Conor Oberst, Robyn, The Felice Brothers

Our Pick: Indie 103 Presents: CLUB NME w/ Robyn (acoustic) @ Spaceland
Tonight LA is taking it easy. We've got the second night of Conor Oberst's sold-out two-date stint at the Henry Fonda Music Box. And Upstate NY-based folk rockers the Felice Brothers will be performing at the Troubadour with Deer Tick. But we suggest that you check out Swedish chanteuse Robyn at Spaceland. Having just finished opening for Madonna in Europe, the twenty-nine-year-old pop singer is, virtually, a full-fledged superstar. Yet, unfortunately, she has struggled to break through here in the States. So catch her infectious pop tunes, which will be toned down to acoustic renditions, before she gives up on us (and our poor taste in pop) altogether!

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.
