Our Pick: Dirty Projectors, Little Wings @ Jensen Rec Center (1161 Logan Street, Los Angeles)
Tonight, much like last year, monolithic Parisian electro duo Justice will be headlining a Hard Haunted Mansion at the Shrine Auditorium that is sure to sate anyone who's craving a dance party. Local indie rock buzz band Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros (LAist Review) are poised to take on the Park Plaza Hotel with none other than DJ Shadow, Sea Wolf (LAist Interview, Review, #2, #3) and Little Dragon for KCRW's Masquerade Halloween party. And, lastly, LA-based rock outfit the Fuxedos will be throwing a Halloween party of their own at Spaceland. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the Jensen Rec Center to catch Brooklyn's crown jewel, the erratic experimental indie rock collective known as Dirty Projectors (LAist Review). Stand outside and listen, go eat tacos at Tacos Arizas—just be there goddamnit!
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.
