Tonight In Rock: Ne-Yo, NOFX, TSOL, Alex & Sam
()
Alex & Sam will be playing tonight at Home Restaurant | Picture via Alex & Sam's Myspace
Our Pick: Alex and Sam @ Home Restaurant (Free! At the new Home on Fletcher and Riverside.)
Tonight the Grammys, "a broken system of old white men voting for music they’ve never heard or understood," will be taking place in Downtown at the Staples Center. LA-based pop singer-songwriter/producer extraordinaire Ne-Yo is poised to perform the second sold-out night of his two-date stint at Club Nokia. Prolific Bay Area punk rockers NOFX will be concluding a non-consecutive three-date stint at the Henry Fonda Music Box. And speaking of punk rock outfits, Long Beach's own TSOL are slated to annihilate onlookers at the Echoplex. But we strongly suggest heading over to Home Restaurant in Silverlake to catch jazz-infused pop duo Alex & Sam (LAist Interview, Review).

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.
