Tonight In Rock: Jon Brion, The Octopus Project, The Henry Clay People, Crooked Cowboy & The Freshwater Indians
The Henry Clay People will be performing tonight at The Echoplex | Photo by Koga for LAist
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.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
