Our Pick: High Places, Glasser, Intricate Machines @ Kerckhoff Grand Saloon at UCLA
It's Monday night in LA and that means the free residencies are aplenty. You've got local singer-songwriter Rocco Deluca (LAist Interview, Review) performing at Spaceland for the penultimate time. Last week's show found famed Québécois producer/musician Daniel Lanois joining Deluca onstage. LA's other prominent and prepossessing singer-songwriter Robert Francis (LAist Interview, Review) will be playing at the Echo for the third night this month as well. And, to complete the triumvirate, local alt-country outfit Olin & the Moon (LAist Interview) are poised to rock the Silver Lake Lounge. But we insist that you head all the way over to UCLA's Kerckhoff Grand Saloon to catch Brooklyn experimental buzz band High Places. LAist favorite Glasser will be kicking off the show.

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.
