Tonight In Rock: Mates Of State, Baths, Stevenson Ranch Davidians, Moses Campbell

Baths will be performing tonight at the Troubadour | Picture via Anticon
Our Pick: Baths' record release, Daedelus, El Ten Eleven, Matthewdavid @ Troubadour
Tonight Kansas-bred indie pop duo Mates of States (LAist Review) will be concluding a two-night stint at the Echo with none other than the City of Brotherly Love's rock and roll quintet Free Energy (LAist Interview). Local folk rockers the Stevenson Ranch Davidians are poised to perform for free at Casey's Irish Bar & Grill in Downtown. And, lastly, LA-based folk-infused indie rock sextet Moses Campbell will be throwing a tour fundraiser at Pehrspace with a bevy of great local musicians. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Troubadour to catch Chatsworth's own producer/electronic mastermind Will Wiesenfeld, otherwise known as Baths, who will be ringing in his debut studio album—2010's Cerulean. LAist favorites, electronic music pioneer Daedelus and experimental two-man band El Ten Eleven 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.
Baths - "Lovely Bloodflow"
Mates of State - "Sleep the Clock Around (Belle & Sebastian cover)"
Moses Campbell - "And It's Over"

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.
