Our Pick: Glasser, The Samps @ Bootleg Theater
Tonight local multi-instrumentalist/producer extraordinaire Jon Brion (LAist Interview, #2, Review) will be jamming with friends at the Largo at the Coronet; And Jon's is performing less frequently these days, so you have no excuse to soak it up. Boston-based ex-Candy Butcher front man Mike Viola is poised to perform at the Hotel Café with pop singer-songwriter Bleu. LA-based grandiose, comedic art rockers the Fuxedos will be taking on Spaceland. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Bootleg Theater to catch local experimental electro pop songstress Cameron Mesirow, who performs under the pseudonym Glasser. Tonight Mesirow will be backed by Van Rivers and the Subliminal Kid—better known as the producers of Fever Ray and the forthcoming Blonde Redhead album.

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.
