Broken Social Scene will be performing tonight at the Henry Fonda Music Box | Picture via Broken Social Scene's Myspace
Our Pick: Broken Social Scene, Julie Doiron @ Henry Fonda Music Box (Sold-Out)
Tonight Chicago-based hip hop artist Lupe Fiasco will be performing to a sold-out crowd at the House of Blues Sunset. Brooklyn-based rockers the Hold Steady are poised to take on the Grammy Museum in Downtown. And, lastly, Irish indie pop sensation Two Door Cinema Club will be making their US debut at Bardot. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the Henry Fonda Music Box to catch iconic Toronto-based, Juno-winning indie rock "supercollective" Broken Social Scene, who will be ringing in their latest endeavor—2010's Forgiveness Rock Record. LAist favorite, Canadian indie folk singer-songwriter Julie Doiron is slated to kick things off.
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which goes up every Sunday.
Support for LAist comes from

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.
