Our Pick: Cy Coleman Tribute w/ Nikka Costa, Fiona Apple @ Largo at the Coronet (Sold-Out)
Tonight Australian singer-songwriter Ben Lee will be performing at Largo at the Coronet's Little Room. The Roxy is playing host to a slew of DFA artists, including Portland-based one-man band Yacht, the Juan Maclean, Tim Sweeney and Tim Goldsworthy. LA-based singer-songwriter Meiko (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4, #5) will be playing at the Hotel Café for the second night in a row with LAist favorite Obi Best (LAist Interview, Review, #2) slated to open. On the early side of things, Scottish rockers Glasvegas are poised to take over Amoeba Records. And, lastly, LA-based psych rock outfit the Entrance Band will be headlining the Troubadour with Indian Jewelry and the Growlers in tow. But we insist that you head over to the Largo at the Coronet to catch LA's most beautiful and forlorn figure Fiona Apple.

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.
