Our Pick: A Benefit for the Pablove Foundation w/ Eulogies, Avi Buffalo, Bad Veins, A Decent Animal @ The Echo
Tonight San Diego-based alternative rockers Stone Temple Pilots will be performing for a sold-out crowd the House of Blues Sunset. Maryland-based singer-songwriter Bill Callahan is poised to headline the Troubadour with Bachelorette in tow. And, lastly, local retro 60s soul act Fitz and the Tantrums will be gracing Spaceland for this week's edition of Club NME. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Echo to partake in a Benefit for the Pablove Foundation, established earlier this year to help fight childhood cancer. Pablo Castelaz, the son of Dangerbird Records' co-founder Jeff Castelaz, was a beautiful 6-year-old boy—wise beyond his years—who passed from this life last Saturday. He was battling with Wilm's Tumor, a form of cancer that most often strikes children. Local indie rockers Eulogies (LAist Interview, Review, #2, #3), Bad Veins and Avi Buffalo (LAist Interview, Review) are all slated to take stage in his honor.

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.
