Our Pick: Loch Lomond, Hey Marseilles @ Bootleg Theater
Tonight Halifax-based indie rockers Wintersleep, who recently released their fourth studio-album, 2010's New Inheritors, will be warming up the stage at the Troubadour for none other than the City of Brotherly Love's own indie rock maestros Matt Pond PA. Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter April Smith & The Great Picture Show is poised to grace the Hotel Café with New Jersey-bred folk singer-songwriter Jenny Owen Youngs. And, lastly, Culver City/Mar Vista-based indie rock sextet Bikos will be taking on Pehrspace. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Bootleg Theater to catch Portland-based pop folk sextet Loch Lomond. LAist favorites, Seattle's own pop folk outfit Hey Marseilles 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.
