Friendly Fires will be performing tonight at the Roxy | Picture via Friendly Fires' Myspace
Our Pick: Friendly Fires, Superhumanoids @ The Roxy
Tonight local folk troubadour Ferraby Lionheart (LAist Interview, Review) will be gracing the Satellite with none other than local "fancy pop" songstress Obi Best (LAist Interview, Review, #2) and local singer-songwriter Willoughby in tow. One of LAist's favorite local singer-songwriters, Mia Doi Todd is poised to perform at Footsie's in Cypress Park.
And, lastly, local indie rockers One Trick Pony will be taking on hole-and-corner Pehrspace. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to catch St. Albans-based dance pop outfit Friendly Fires (LAist Review), who are touring in support of their yet-to-be-released sophomore album—2011's Pala. LAist favorites, local indie pop quartet Superhumanoids are slated to kick things off.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
