Mississippi Man will be performing tonight at the Echo | Picture via Mississippi Man's Myspace
Our Pick: Mississippi Man, Useless Keys, Superhumanoids, Dahga Bloom @ The Echo (FREE!)
Tonight Nashville-bred alternative rockers Kings of Leon will be headlining the Hollywood Bowl with none other than legendary Boise-based indie rock progenitors Built To Spill. LA's own electro-pop singer-songwriter Active Child is poised to take on Bardot for this week's edition of 'School Night.' And, lastly, former Georgie James member Laura Burhenn, who currently performs under the pseudonym the Mynabirds (LAist Interview), will be gracing the Hotel Café. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echo to catch local folk-infused indie rock outfit Mississippi Man. LAist favorites, local indie pop quartet Superhumanoids and alternative rockers the Useless Keys are slated to perform as well. Did we mention that it's Molly Bergen's birthday? And she's DJing as well?! Say wha!

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.
