Tonight In Rock: The Movies, Voxhaul Broadcast, Polyamorous Affair, The Color Turning

Voxhaul Broadcast will be playing tonight at the Echo | Picture via Dios (Malos)' Myspace
Our Pick: The Movies, Voxhaul Broadcast, The Damsells, Adeline and the Philistines, DJ Solid Todd @ Spaceland (Free!)
Tonight LA is filled to the brim with free residencies. We've got the Manimal Vinyl Residency at the Echo with Polyamorous Affair as headliners. Silver Lake-based alternative rockers The Color Turning will trek on at the Silver Lake Lounge with the Capshuns. And, lastly, Sean Carnage is throwing Crunk On Christ Party at the hole-and-corner Pehrspace, which is generally free as well. But we strongly recommend plopping down at Spaceland to catch LAist favorites the Movies (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4), who will be tearing down the house with exuberant high kicks. Local indie rockers Voxhaul Broadcast is slated to open 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.
