Our Pick: Broken Bells, The Morning Benders @ Henry Fonda Music Box (Sold-Out)
Tonight Bristol-based electronic duo Massive Attack will be taking on the penultimate date of their three-night stint at the Wiltern. Canadian psych pop maestro Dan Snaith, otherwise known as Caribou, is poised to headline the El Rey Theatre with none other than South Carolina-bred experimental electro pop maestro Chaz Budnick, who performs under the moniker Toro Y Moi in tow. And, lastly, local singer-songwriter Sara Radle, who you've invariably come to know through Walking Sleep, the venerable local indie rock outfit formerly known as the Flying Tourbillon Orchestra (LAist Review, #2, #3), will be gracing Spaceland. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the Henry Fonda Music Box to catch Broken Bells—the brainchild of the Shins front man James Mercer and producer/musician extraordinaire Danger Mouse. San Franciscan indie pop outfit the Morning Benders (LAist Review, #2, #3) are 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.

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.
