This week French "freak folk" outfit CocoRosie will be headlining the Orpheum Theatre in support of their latest endeavor—2010's Grey Oceans—with none other than LA-based rapper Busdriver (LAist Review, #2) and Sao Paulo's self-proclaimed purveyor of tropical punk, Cibelle. Portland's own experimental rock sextet Blitzen Trapper (LAist Interview) will be headlining the El Rey Theatre with Seattle-based folk rock quartet the Moondoggies. Local garage pop quartet Dum Dum Girls are poised to take on the Echo as a part of their reunion tour with San Diegan garage rockers Crocodiles (LAist Inteview) in tow. And, finally, Australian psych rock quartet Tame Impala will be making their LA debut: not only performing once at Spaceland, opening up for Echo Park's own electro dance duo Rainbow Arabia, but also headlining the Silver Lake Lounge in support of their studio debut—2010'sInnerspeaker.

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.
