The New Pornographers will be performing tonight at the Music Box at Henry Fonda | Picture via the New Pornographers' Myspace
Our Pick: The New Pornographers, The Dodos, Imaad Wasif @ The Music Box at Henry Fonda
Tonight Kele, former front man of English indie rock act Bloc Party (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4), will be gracing Cinespace in anticipation of his forthcoming heavily electronic solo venture—2010's The Boxer. (Canceled!) Raleigh-by-way-of-Netherlands Grammy-nominated hip hop duo the Foreign Exchange are poised to headline the Roxy in Hollyweird. And, lastly, local indie rockers One Trick Pony will be performing at Echo Curio. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the Music Box at Henry Fonda to catch prolific Canadian indie rockers the New Pornographers, who will be concluding their two-night stint. LAist favorites, San Francisco-based psych-folk-pop act the Dodos are slated to kick things off.

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.
