Our Pick: The Movies, Everest, Love Lies Sleeping, Roses Kings Castle (Adam of Babyshambles) @ Spaceland (Free!)
Tonight marks the final night of the ongoing free Monday Night Residencies. Silver Lake-based alternative rockers the Color Turning will be performing at the Silver Lake Lounge. The Manimal Vinyl Residency at the Echo is coming to a close with folk songstress Rio En Medio headlining the bill. And if you've got the scrilla, then we suggest heading over to Club Nokia to catch Robin Thicke belting out sensual R&B tunes. But we recommend planting your feet down at Spaceland, where fringe rockers the Movies (LAist Review, #2, #3) will be closing out their month-long residency. LAist's favorite alt-rockers Everest (LAist Review, #2), who just concluded a successful stint with Neil Young and Wilco, are slated to perform as well. It doesn't get any better than that!

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.
