Tonight In Rock: NOFX, Fucked Up, The Bird and the Bee, Jon Brion

The Bird and the Bee will be playing tonight at the Museum of Natural History | Picture via the Bird and the Bee's Myspace
Our Pick: The Bird and the Bee, Jukebox the Ghost @ Museum of Natural History
Tonight Bay Area punk rockers NOFX will be concluding a two-date stint at the Henry Fonda Music Box. Toronto's own raucous punk outfit Fucked Up are slated to headline the Echoplex with LA locals Mika Miko. LA-based indie rockers Oliver Future will be gracing Spaceland. And, lastly, English rapper Lady Sovereign is poised to flow at the Echo. But we insist that you head over to the Museum of Natural History to catch the second edition of First Fridays. Acclaimed indie-pop duo the Bird and the Bee will be accompanied by D.C.-bred indie rockers Jukebox the Ghost.

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.
