Our Pick: Minus the Bear, Everest, Young the Giant @ Mayan Theater
Tonight Bristol-based electronic duo Massive Attack will be concluding a three-night stint at the Wiltern. Swedish indie rockers Shout Out Louds are poised to kick off a two-night stint at the El Rey Theatre with none other than Queens' own indie pop buzz band Freelance Whales. And, lastly, local indie rockers Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, who released their debut almost a year ago to the date, will be making a brief appearance at UCLA's Royce Hall prior to heading back out and conquering the world by tour. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Mayan Theatre in Downtown to catch Seattle's own experimental rockers Minus the Bear, who ringing in their latest effort—2010's OMNI. LAist favorites, local alt-rock outfit Everest (LAist Review, #2), who recently released a brand-new full-length record as well, 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.
