Tonight In Rock: Friendly Fires, Richard Swift, The Henry Clay People, Fool's Gold

Tonight St. Albans-based dance pop outfit Friendly Fires (LAist Review) will be performing for a sold-out crowd at the Troubadour with Hockey in tow. LAist favorites the Henry Clay People (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4) are poised to take on Spaceland with the Broken West (LAist Review). Local afro-centric pop rockers Fool's Gold will be gracing the Echo as a party of a stellar bill that includes Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, as well as Glasser. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Center for the Arts in Eagle Rock to catch Oregonian singer-songwriter Richard Swift. San Franciscan folk rockers Vetiver 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 appears every Sunday.

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.
