Our Pick: Crooked Cowboy & The Fresh Water Indians @ Echoplex
Sunday was clearly not intended for rest, at least in the music world. Tonight LA will be commandeered by electro-pop, particularly female-fronted acts. London-based singer Alison Goldfrapp will be gracing the vaudeville-esque Orpheum Theatre. São Paulo's pop phenomenon CSS will presumably be showcasing material from 2008's Donkey for the first time at one of Downtown's finest venues, the Mayan Theatre. And London's electronic heavyweights Hot Chip will be kicking off their two-date stint at the Wiltern tonight as well. If you're looking for the dance floor, it'll be a sure-fire way of getting down. But the real treat of the night is the Crooked Cowboy & The Fresh Water Indians spectacular at the Echoplex. The Highland Park-bred eldritch crooner will be accompanied by a 40-piece orchestra! How often do you get to see something like that at the Echoplex?

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.
