Our Pick: Kaki King, An Horse @ El Rey Theatre
Tonight Brooklyn-by-way-of-Cincinnati indie rock act the National will be concluding a two-night stint at the Wiltern. Québécois singer-songwriter Patrick Watson is poised to headline the Hotel Café with none other than OC-based folk outfit Yellow Red Sparks in tow. Southern rock maestro Shooter Jennings & Hierophantwill be performing at the Troubadour. And, lastly, the first ever Silver Lake Jubilee, a two-day community festival which features a bevy of twenty-some-odd local bands each day, will be taking place on Myra Avenue at Santa Monica Boulevard and North Hoover Avenue. But we strongly suggest heading over to the El Rey Theatre to catch Hottlanta-based rocker Kaki King. LAist favorites, Australian indie pop duo An Horse are slated to kick things off.
You can find these listings as well as the rest of the week's in our weekly Week In Rock post, which goes up every Sunday.

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.
