This week critically-acclaimed New York-based experimental rock trio Liars will be headlining the El Rey Theatre with none other than local indie rockers Fol Chen—a couple of whom will be partaking in the Liars' set in fact. English jazz-infused soul singer-songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae is poised to perform to a sold-out crowd at Vibiana, a former Archdiocese cathedral built in 1876 in Downtown. We're told that not only is it the first time they've opened the doors at the aforementioned venue for a major ticketed music event, but it will also be the first time KCRW has ever recorded one of its live concerts for future broadcast on the station; It will air in its entirety April 9th on Morning Becomes Eclectic. LA-by-way-of-New Orleans alternative hip hop duo the Knux (LAist Interview) will be gracing Spaceland with local indie rockers the Holloys in tow. And, lastly, beloved Beulah front man, Portland-based singer-songwriter Miles Kurosky will be taking on the Echo.
The Knux - "Fuck You"
Liars - "No Barrier Fun"

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.
