Our Pick: Roky Erickson w/ Okkervil River, Leslie and The Badgers @ Henry Fonda Music Box
Tonight Bristol-based electronic duo Massive Attack will be taking on a three-night stint at the Wiltern, ringing in their first release in over seven years—2010's Heligoland. Massachusetts-based metalcore act Converge—who recently released their seventh studio album, 2010's Axe To Fall—are poised to take on the El Rey Theatre. And, lastly, Seattle-bred pop rock duo Ivan and Alyosha will be gracing the Silver Lake Lounge. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Henry Fonda Music Box to catch iconic Austin-based psychedelic rock singer-songwriter, and founding member of the 13th Floor Elevators, Roky Erickson perform songs from 2010's True Love Cast Out All Evil (LAist Review) with none other than Okkervil River. LAist favorites, local alt-country troubadours Leslie and the Badgers 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.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
