Our Pick: Phoenix, Grizzly Bear, Girls @ Hollywood Bowl
Tonight Silver Lake's own indie rock sensation Local Natives (LAist Interview, Review, #2) will be concluding a two-night stint at the Music Box at the Henry Fonda Theater. Local rock trio Autolux (LAist Review, #2) are poised to headline the El Rey Theatre with none other than Gold Panda in celebration of their long-awaited sophomore studio-album, 2010's Transit Transit. And, lastly, LA-based Cambodian rock outfit Dengue Fever will be headlining an impressive bill of local acts at Ports O' Call Village for the 14th annual Lobster Festival in Long Beach. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the Hollywood Bowl to catch Grammy Award-winning Parisian indie rockers Phoenix. LAist favorites, Brooklyn-based indie rock act Grizzly Bear and San Franciscan lo-fi rock outfit Girls 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.
