Tonight In Rock: School Of Seven Bells, Baths, The Western States Motel, Haroula Rose

It's Tuesday. Do you know where your rock is? You may find it at the Conga Room for School of Seven Bells or perhaps your rock is waiting for you for FREE @ Amoeba Music. No? It's at the Troubadour for Ceci Bastida and Oh Land? Oh really? I heard The Satellite was where the rock was with Marvelous Toy, Airlines and The Pass. 87 Stick Up Kids would beg to differ from their hold at the Echoplex, and I bet Sara Lov would have a word to say about that from the Hotel Cafe. Hotel too fancy? Try a motel. A Western States Motel at LaBrie's. Says the Silverlake lounge, it's all Smoke and Feathers.

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.
