Tonight In Rock: Margot & The Nuclear So And So's, Ed Laurie, Division of Laura Lee, Rachael Yamagata

Our Pick: Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s, David Vandervelde, Judgement Day @ Troubadour
Tonight LA offers up a few relatively low-key options. Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jackson Browne will be playing at Amoeba at 6 PM for free. NY-based singer-songwriter Rachael Yamagata (LAist Review) is slated to perform at Largo at the Coronet. And, lastly, the Hotel Cafe will be hosting a night with Danger Bird recording artists Eulogies (LAist Review), Ed Laurie and La Rocca (LAist Review). But we suggest paying the Troubadour a visit to see Indianapolis-based indie rock collective Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s. The eight-piece band will be premiering material from their forthcoming albums, Animal and Not Animal. It is our understanding that the notion of a two-disc release arose when the band and their label could not agree on which seventeen songs to release. So it will certainly be interesting to watch all of that play out.

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.
