Tonight In Rock: Jason Mraz, Rise Against!, She & Him, Yelle

Our Pick: Yelle, Passion Pit, Funeral Party @ The Henry Fonda Music Box
We're pooped from yesterday's festivities, but there are far too many shows to stay in tonight. Portland-based alt-country duo She & Him, or rather Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, will be performing at the Wiltern with LA's own Lavender Diamond. Local pop rockers the Parson Red Heads will be gracing Spaceland with the Spires. And rock trio the 88 will be ringing in their new album, Not only...But also, with Dhani Harrison's thenewno2 at the Troubadour. And, lastly, Hella front man Zach Hill will be performing 2008's Necromancer in its entirety at the Smell in Downtown. But we recommend heading over to the Henry Fonda Music Box to catch Boston-based electro-pop sensation Passion Pit. We saw a whole lot of them at 2008's CMJ Festival and they did not disappoint.

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.
