Our Pick: The Happy Hollows, Crooked Cowboy & the Freshwater Indians, The Movies, Anni Rossi, Jillian Hank Leigh, Whitman @ The Echo (Free before 8 PM, $5 thereafter)
Tonight LA-based buzz band the Airborne Toxic Event (LAist Interview, #2, Review, #2, #3, #4, #5) will be headlining the Henry Fonda Music Box. Local indie rockers Lemon Sun will be ringing in their latest effort at the Troubadour with a handful of great bands, including Voxhaul Broadcast, Rumspringa and Restavrant. And, lastly, experimental instrumentalist Bobb Bruno will be playing the Smell in Downtown. But we strongly suggest heading over to the the Echo to catch fringe rockers the Movies (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4). LAist favorites Crooked Cowboy & the Freshwater Indians 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.
