Our Pick: Club Underground feat. Quadron @ The EchoOur Pick: Club Underground feat. Quadron @ The Echo
Tonight critically-acclaimed NY-based electro pop outfit LCD Soundsystem at the Hollywood Palladium with label mates, Brooklyn-based duo Holy Ghost!. Silver Lake's own indie rock sensation Local Natives (LAist Interview, Review, #2) are poised to perform to a sold-out crowd at the Troubadour with Brooklyn quartet Suckers. And, lastly, Austin/Brooklyn-bred electro pop duo Neon Indian will be taking on the Natural History Museum with none other than San Jose-bred DJ, hip-hop producer and founder of the hip-hop label Stones Throw Records, Peanut Butter Wolf for this month's edition of First Fridays. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echo to catch Danish electro-infused soul duo Quadron, who are touring in support of their self-titled debut.
We'd also like to suggest heading over to Origami Vinyl this evening, where our dear friend and local music writer/photographer David Greenwald (of Rawkblog fame) will be showcasing his photography.

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.
