Tonight In Rock: The Nels Cline Singers, Glasvegas, Lipp Service, Les Blanks

Lipp Service will be playing tonight at the Airliner | Photo via Eliot Lipp's Myspace
Our Pick: Low End Theory Club w/ Lipp Service (Elliot Lipp), Alex B, Bass Science @ Airliner
Tonight LA-based free jazz outfit the Nels Cline Singers will be performing at Largo at the Coronet. Scottish rockers Glasvegas are slated to headline a sold-out show at the Troubadour. And, lastly, a handful of great locals, including Les Blanks, Death to Anders and the Soft Hands, will be rocking out at the rather drab bar Three Clubs in Hollywood. But we strongly recommend heading over to the Airliner in Downtown to catch Brooklyn-by-way-of-LA electronic maestro Eliot Lipp and his live band Lipp Service.

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.
