The xx will be performing at the Hollywood Palladium | Photo via the xx's Myspace
Our Pick: The xx, Warpaint, Zola Jesus @ Hollywood Palladium
Tonight British alternative rockers the Charlatans will be performing for free, in-store at Amoeba Music in Hollywood (Canceled!). Los Feliz-bred Top 40 maestros the Airborne Toxic Event are poised to headline the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre with none other than the Calder Quartet. And, lastly, French/Finnish indie pop duo the Dø will be gracing the Bootleg Theater. But we strongly suggest doing whatever it takes to get into the Hollywood Palladium to catch critically-acclaimed British indie rock outfit the XX. LAist favorites, local indie rockers Warpaint (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4, #5) and Phoenix-based goth-infused electro act Zola Jesus are slated to kick things off.

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.
