Our Pick: Iron and Wine, Laura Marling @ The Wiltern
Tonight Long Beach-bred indie rock stalwarts the Cold War Kids (LAist Review, #2) will be performing for free, in-store at Amoeba Music. Local alt-rockers Olin & the Moon (LAist Interview) are poised to take on the Echo.
And, lastly, Echo Park-based indie rock quintet Young Hunting will be gracing the Silver Lake Lounge with none other than Pacific Hurt, formerly known as Santa Ana-based indie rockers Aushua. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Wiltern to catch South Carolina-bred folk maestro Iron and Wine, who is touring in support of his latest endeavor—2011's Kiss Each Other Clean. LAist favorites, English folk singer-songwriter Laura Marling is slated to kick things off.
Support for LAist comes from

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.
