Learning Music will be performing today at Bedrock Studios | Picture via Learning Music's Myspace
Our Pick: Bedrocktoberfest w/ Learning Music, Fort Wife, Evan Way (of the Parson Red Heads) @ Bedrock Studios (FREE! Early Show; 2-6 PM)
Tonight legendary Dublin-bred alternative rockers U2 will be performing to a sold-out crowd at the Rose Bowl with none other than the Black Eyed Peas. Canadian singer-songwriters Tegan and Sara are poised to take on a two-night stint at the Orpheum Theatre in Downtown. And, lastly, local indie pop outfit the Parson Red Heads (LAist Review, #2, #3) will be gracing Casey's Irish Bar & Grill. But we strongly suggest heading over to the newly opened Bedrock Studios (LAist Interview) to catch local prolific songwriter John Wood, who performs under the pseudonym Learning Music. LA-based singer-songwriter Evan Way of the Parson Red Heads (LAist Review, #2, #3) is poised to perform as well.
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.
