Our Pick: Nite Jewel, Memoryhouse, Baths, Kisses (DJ set) @ Echoplex
Tonight Seattle's most promising talent, folk singer-songwriter Zach Tillman, otherwise known as Pearly Gate Music, or the younger brother of Fleet Foxes drummer J. Tillman, will be warming up the stage at the Echo for Denver's own folk troubadour Nathaniel Rateliff. Brooklyn-based lo-fi indie rockers Beach Fossils are poised to perform for free, in-store at Origami Vinyl early on in the afternoon, and then take on the Troubadour; They'll be opening up for fellow Brooklynites Here We Go Magic. And, lastly, Walking Sleep, the venerable local indie rock outfit formerly known as the Flying Tourbillon Orchestra (LAist Review, #2, #3), will be performing in Pershing Square for free. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echoplex to catch local electronic chanteuse Nite Jewel, who recently released a new EP entitled Am I Real?, which features collaborations with Cole M.G.N. of the Samps/Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti and Daniel/Andrew of Teen Inc. LAist favorites, Chatsworth's own producer/electronic mastermind Will Wiesenfeld, otherwise known as Baths, and Canadian duo Memoryhouse are slated to perform as well.

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.
