Broken Bells will be performing tonight at the Bootleg Theater | Picture via Broken Bells' Myspace
Our Pick: Broken Bells @ Bootleg Theater (Sold-Out)
Tonight, as always, local multi-instrumentalist/producer extraordinaire Jon Brion (LAist Interview, #2, Review) will be jamming with friends at the Largo at the Coronet. Local retro 60s soul act Fitz and the Tantrums are poised to take on the Echo once more—this time with LA-based indie rockers Pop Noir in tow. And, lastly, local indie rockers One Trick Pony and Rademacher will be warming up the stage upstairs at the Echoplex for Radars to the Sky (LAist Review, #2, #3). But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the Bootleg Theater to catch Broken Bells—the brainchild of the Shins front man James Mercer and producer/musician extraordinaire Danger Mouse. Yes, we know it is completely last-minute and invariably sold-out. However, this is not to be missed, as it will be the band's debut performance!
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which (generally) 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.
