Our Pick: Indie 103 Presents: Check One Twosday w/ Everest, The Henry Clay People, Nico Stai, Dazzler @ the Echoplex (Free for 21 and over; $5 for 18 and over)
Tonight the legendary punk rock outfit known as the Misfits will be stopping through the House of Blues Sunset. Brooklyn-based Jewish reggae artist Matisyahu is set to headline Club Nokia with Flobots and Chester French. The Hotel Café Tour, which features Meiko (LAist Review) and Rachael Yamagata (LAist Review), will be coming through the Henry Fonda Music Box. Experimental locals Abe Vigoda are slated to rock the dingy confines of the Smell. And, lastly, Radio Free Silver Lake's Let's Independent Night is taking over Boardner's in Hollywood with the Broken Remotes in tow. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echoplex to catch LAist's favorite alt-rock group Everest (LAist Review, #2). Glendale's own the Henry Clay People are opening and it's free if you're old enough to buy drinks.

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.
