Tonight In Rock: Jon Brion, The Octopus Project, The Henry Clay People, Crooked Cowboy & The Freshwater Indians

Our Pick: Rock and Roll Summer Circus w/ The Henry Clay People, Fol Chen, The Flying Tourbillon Orchestra, Marvelous Toy, The Damselles, Roadsode Graves, Les Blanks, Downtown Union and many more @ Echoplex
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. Austin-based theremin-crazed, indietronica outfit the Octopus Project are poised to grace the Troubadour. And, lastly, Highland Park's own deep crooner Crooked Cowboy & the Freshwater Indians will be performing at the Unknown Theatre. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echoplex to catch the first Rock and Roll Circus. Local favorites the Henry Clay People, Fol Chen, the Flying Tourbillon Orchestra and Marvelous Toy are all slated to grace the stage, as well as a handful of other LAist favorites playing acoustic sets in the interim.

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.
