Our Pick: The Like, The Young Veins, The Living Sickness @ The Echo (FREE!)
Tonight Swedish electro pop outfit Miike Snow will be taking on the second night of sold-out, three-date stint at the Henry Fonda Music Box with none other than LAist favorite, Nashville's Daniel James, better known as Canon Blue. Berklee grad and Nashville's most promising pop folk songstress Madi Diaz is poised to grace Bardot in Hollyweird; It should be noted that Miike Snow will be DJing here after their show. And, lastly, loose-knit Durham-based collective, Daniel Hart's the Physics of Meaning will be taking on the Spaceland. The aforementioned violin virtuoso has lent his skills to St. Vincent, John Vanderslice and the Polyphonic Spree in times past. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echo to catch LA-bred all-female, retro 60s pop rock quartet The Like (LAist Review, #2, #3), who recently recorded their forthcoming debut with none other than Mark Ronson and Phantom Planet front man Alex Greenwald. Local "retro-leaning" pop rock quintet the Young Veins, which of course features not one, but two former members of Panic! At The Disco, 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.
