Tonight In Rock: Hot Hot Heat, The Good Life, Themselves, Neverever

Baths will be performing tonight at the Echo | Picture via Baths' Myspace
Our Pick: Themselves, Baths, Talkdemonic @ The Echo
Tonight Canadian indie rockers Hot Hot Heat will be continuing their month-long residency at the Bootleg Theater with local indie rockers Eulogies (LAist Interview, Review, #2, #3) in tow. The Good Life, an Omaha-based side-project from Cursive front man Tim Kasher, are poised to take on the Troubadour with none other than local indie pop outfit the Parson Red Heads (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4). And, lastly, LA-by-way-of-Glasgow retro 50s/60s pop outfit Neverever will be gracing Spaceland. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echo to catch Oakland-based experimental electronic hip hop duo Themselves. Local producer, electronic mastermind Will Wiesenfeld, who performs under the pseudonym Baths, and Portland-bred avant-instrumental duo Talkdemonic are slated to kick things off.
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.

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.
