Superhumanoids will be performing tonight at Spaceland | Picture via Superhumanoids' Myspace
Our Pick: White Arrows, Grouplove, Superhumanoids, Whispertown 2000 @ Spaceland (FREE!)
Tonight Highland Park experimental indie rock sextet Fol Chen (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4), who recently released their sophomore studio-album—2010's Part II: The New December will be concluding their month-long residency at the Echo. Burgeoning LA-based jazz-infused indie rock act Big Moves are poised to take on the Silver Lake Lounge. And, lastly, Long Beach-bred one-man band Nima Kazeroun, who performs under the pseudonym So Many Wizards, will be gracing the hole-and-corner Pehrspace. But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland to catch the local indie rockers White Arrows, who will be concluding their month-long residency. LAist favorites, local indie pop quartet Superhumanoids and Grouplove are slated to perform as well.

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.
