Our Pick: First Fridays w/ Atlas Sound, tUnE-YaRdS @ Natural History Museum
Despite what may or may not have been said yesterday, tonight local indie rock outfit the Happy Hollows (LAist Review, #2, #3) will be performing at the Viper Room with none other than Burbank-based experimental psych folk act Gangi (LAist Review). We'd like to take a moment to wish front man Matt Gangi a very happy birthday! Local indie folk outfit Marvelous Toy are poised to take on Juanita's Bar and Restaurant in Highland Park. And, lastly, LA-based indie rockers Sweaters will be headlining the Echo. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Natural History Museum to catch tUnE-YaRdS, the moniker of New England-based experimental lo-fi musician Merrill Garbus. The Atlas Sound, the experimental solo project of Deerhunter front man Bradford Cox, are poised to headline.

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.
