This week Swedish electro pop outfit Miike Snow will be taking on a sold-out, three-night stint at the Henry Fonda Music Box with none other than LAist favorite, Nashville's Daniel James, better known as Canon Blue. Critically-acclaimed NY-based electro pop outfit LCD Soundsystem are poised to perform to a sold-out crowd once at the Hollywood Palladium, as well as a second time at the Fox Theater Pomona. London-based electro pop maestro Dan Black will be headlining the Roxy in the heart of Hollyweird. And last, but certainly not least, hometown heroes, Silver Lake's own indie rock sensation Local Natives (LAist Interview, Review, #2) will be dipping into Los Angeles for two sold-out dates—one at the Troubadour, and another at the Bootleg Theater—before heading out to conquer the world again. Needless to say, it is completely beyond us how quickly everything changes.
Local Natives - "Wide Eyes"
LCD Soundsystem - "Home"

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.
