Tonight In Rock: Lord Huron, Young Prisms, Night Horse, Woolen

Lord Huron will be performing tonight at the Autry NationalCenter | Picture via Lord Huron's website
Our Pick: Abe Vigoda, Lord Huron with the Calder Quartet, Gamble House @ Autry National Center
Tonight San Franciscan lo-fi psych-rock quintet Young Prisms will be taking on the Satellite with local post-punk act Twilight Sleep fellow Franciscans, synth-pop outfit Melted Toys. Local rock quintet Night Horse are poised to headline the Echo.
And, lastly, local indie rock quartet Woolen will be gracing the relatively newfangled venue Lot 1 Cafe. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the Autry National Center to catch Los Angeles-by-way-of-Michigan singer-songwriter Benji Schneider, otherwise known as Lord Huron, who will be performing with the famed string quartet Calder Quartet for Brand X’s inaugural L.A. Unheard concert. LAist favorites, local experimental punk outfit Abe Vigoda and indie folk act Gamble House 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.
