Tonight In Rock: Sound Tribe Sector 9, Autolux, Unwritten Law, Mika Miko

Our Pick: Autolux, Wooden Shjips @ The Henry Fonda Music Box
Tonight Santa Cruz-by-way-of-Atlanta instrumental outfit Sound Tribe Sector 9 will be concluding a two-night headlining sting at the Wiltern. Poway punk rockers Unwritten Law are performing at the Roxy. On the early side of things, LAist's favorite singer-songwriter Theresa Andersson (LAist Interview) will be taking over Amoeba Records on Sunset at 2:00 PM. And, lastly, the Echo is playing host to local noise-infused rockers Mika Miko (LAist Review) for this month's edition of Hang The DJs. But we strongly recommend heading over to the Henry Fonda Music Box to catch the blisteringly good tunes of Autolux (LAist Review, #2). San Francisco-based psych rockers Wooden Shjips (LAist Review) are slated to kick 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.
