Foreign Born will be performing tonight at the Silver Lake Jubilee | Picture via Foreign Born's Myspace
Our Pick: Silver Lake Jubilee 2010 feat. The Like, Foreign Born, Division Day, Voxhaul Broadcast, Dios, Wet & Reckless, Seasons, Downtown/Union, Timonium, Moses Campbell, Family of the Year, Tenlons Fort, Social Studies, So Many Wizards, Useless Keys @ Myra Avenue (the corner of Hoover and Santa Monica to Fountain Avenue)
Tonight Scottish rock act Frightened Rabbit will be headlining the Henry Fonda Music Box with none other than Chicagoan indie rock outfit Maps & Atlases. San Franciscan chamber-punk outfit Bonfire Madigan are poised to take on the Bootleg Theater. And, lastly, Geneva Garvin, an experimental electro songstress who performs under the pseudonym Geneva Jacuzzi, will be gracing the Echo for this week's edition of Part Time Punks. But we strongly suggest heading over to Myra Avenue at Santa Monica Boulevard and North Hoover Avenue where the first ever Silver Lake Jubilee, a two-day community festival which features a bevy of twenty-some-odd local bands each day, will be coming to a close. LAist favorites, local indie rock outfit Foreign Born (LAist Interview, Review) and all-female, retro 60s pop rock quartet The Like (LAist Review, #2, #3) are slated to headline.
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which goes up every Sunday.
Support for LAist comes from

Frightened Rabbit - "The Loneliness and the Scream"
Geneva Jacuzzi - "Do I Sad?"

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.
