Miike Snow will be performing tonight at Club Nokia | Picture via Miike Snow's Myspace
Our Pick: Miike Snow, Mark Ronson & The Business Intl, MNDR @ Club Nokia
Tonight Grammy-nominated British singer-songwriter, rapper and record producer M.I.A. will be gracing the Mayan Theater with none other than Rye Rye in tow. San Franciscan indie pop outfit the Morning Benders (LAist Review, #2, #3) are poised to take on the Music Box at the Henry Fonda Theater with Long Island's own indie pop quintet Twin Sister and NY-based retro 60s opp duo Cults. And, lastly, LA-by-way-of-Wisconsin goth-infused electro act Zola Jesus will be gracing the Echo in anticipation of the release of their third EP, 2010's Valusia. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into Club Nokia in Downtown to catch Swedish electro pop outfit Miike Snow. LAist favorites, Mark Ronson & the Business Intl and Brooklyn-based electro pop songstress Amanda Warner, who performs under the pseudonym MNDR are slated to kick things off.

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.
