Pacific Hurt will be performing tonight at Troubadour | Picture via Pacific Hurt's Myspace
Our Pick: Pacific Hurt, LESANDS, Mississippi Man, Neverever @ Troubadour
Tonight Jenny and Johnny, yet another boy/girl duo featuring none other than ruddy-haired Rilo Kiley front woman Jenny Lewis and her middle-of-the-road actor/singer-songwriter boyfriend Jonathan Rice, will be performing for free, in-store at Amoeba Music in Hollyweird. Apple commercial inductees, LA-based indie pop duo the Submarines are poised to take on the Bootleg Theater with local "fancy pop" songstress Obi Best (LAist Interview, Review, #2) and Sacramento's Julie Baenziger, who performs under the pseudonym Sea of Bees. And, lastly, Portland-based alt-rock-leaning outfit Blue Giant, which is of course a splinter of celebrated indie pop act Viva Voce, will be warming up the stage at Spaceland for Nashville's own rock troubadour Bobby Bare Jr.. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Troubadour to catch Pacific Hurt, formerly known as Santa Ana-based indie rockers Aushua. LAist favorites, San Diegan buzz band LESANDS, LA-by-way-of-Glasgow retro 50s/60s pop outfit Neverever and folk-infused indie rock outfit Mississippi Man are all slated to perform as well.

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.
