The National will be performing tonight at the Wiltern | Picture via the National's Myspace
Our Pick: The National, Ramona Falls @ The Wiltern
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 is performing less frequently these days, so you have no excuse to soak it up. Swedish indie rockers Shout Out Louds are poised to conclude a two-night stint at the El Rey Theatre with none other than Queens' own indie pop buzz band Freelance Whales. And, lastly, Shadow Shadow Shade (formerly known as the Afternoons) will be gracing Bootleg Theater with local indie rockers Red Cortez (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4). But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the Wiltern to catch Brooklyn-by-way-of-Cincinnati indie rock act the National, who will be kicking off a two-night stint in support of their fifth studio album—2010's High Violet. LAist favorites Ramona Falls, a splinter of Portland-based indie rockers Menomena, will also be performing.
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which 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.
