Our Pick: Avi Buffalo, Deep Sea Diver, 60-Watt Kid, Tenlons Fort, Time of Wolves @ The Echo (Free for 21+, $7 for under 21)
Tonight "pretend-gay, LA surf-rock in-joke" Iglu & Hartly will be ringing in their latest disc at the Roxy with Pop Noir in tow. Soul Coughing front man Mike Doughty is poised to headline the Hotel Café. And, lastly, experimental instrumental outfit Signal Hill will be gracing the Silver Lake Lounge. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echo to catch local indie rock duo Avi Buffalo (LAist Interview). LA-by-way-of-Austin folk rock maestros Tenlons Fort (LAist Review, #2, #3) are slated to open.

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.
