Our Pick: Julie Doiron, Jen and Abby, Aaron Beaumont and The Petrojvic Blasting, Soul Puppet, Whitton @ The Hotel Café
Tonight Chicago-based alt-rockers Wilco (LAist Interview) will be headlining the newly-restored Fox Theatre in Pomona. Legendary English female rocker PJ Harvey will be performing to a sold-out crowd with John Parish at the Wiltern. Brooklyn-based indie pop act Chairlift (LAist Review), who gained popularity through those (goddamn) lurid Apple commercials, are poised to grace the Getty Center. And, lastly, French musical collective Nouvelle Vague, who are poised to release their third album of covers, appropriately entitled 3, will be performing at the Henry Fonda Music Box with Hawaiian singer-songwriter Sara Lov in tow. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Hotel Café to catch Canadian indie folk singer-songwriter Julie Doiron.

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.
