The Generationals will be performing tonight at the Satellite | Picture via the Generationals' Myspace
Our Pick: Shadow Shadow Shade, Minks, Generationals, The Black Apples @ The Satellite
Tonight Southern rockers Lucero will be headlining the Echo with none other than local alt-rockers Olin & the Moon (LAist Interview). Local alt-rock act Dawes are slated to perform for free at UCLA's Royce Hall (if you're a student of course).
And, lastly, local garage pop quartet Dum Dum Girls will be gracing the Skybar at the Mondrian. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Satellite to catch New Orleans-bred indie pop act the Generationals. LAist favorites, Shadow Shadow Shade (formerly known as the Afternoons) and NY-based duo Minks are slated to perform as well.

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.
