Tonight In Rock: Robin Thicke, Yann Tiersen, Megapuss, William Elliott Whitmore

Our Pick: Megapuss, thenewno2, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Fool's Gold, Saint Motel, Rainbow^Arabia @ BOXeight (1446 E. Washington Blvd.) [Postponed!]
Tonight Grammy Award winning R&B singer Robin Thicke will be headlining Nokia Theatre in Downtown. Parisian composer and musician Yann Tiersen is poised to share the El Rey Theatre with none other than Brooklyn-based shoegazer Asobi Seksu. And, lastly, Iowa-bred deep-blues vocalist/musician William Elliott Whitmore will be headlining the Knitting Factory's Main Stage. But we strongly suggest heading over to BOXeight to catch local buzz band Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, who will be performing alongside a handful of stellar LA-based acts like Megapuss, thenewno2, Fool's Gold, Rainbow^Arabia and Saint Motel.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
