Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.While the debate rages about how much of his films Quentin Tarantino really wrote, one thing remains certain: many of their points on the coolometer are earned by his acute choice of music: Stealer's Wheel behind Richard Madsen's auriculectomy of Marvin the cop in Reservoir Dogs, the guitar wall-of-sound of Dick Dale and the Del-Tones' Misirlou which shrieks its way around Pulp Fiction.
Dick Dale and the Who? Find out on Tuesday and Wednesday when the 57- year-old former eremite, animal sanctuary boss and Father of the Surf Sound plays two gigs at The Garage, Islington. Dale, whose second album of his revivified career, Unknown Territory, was released in February, is credited with inventing the washing guitar riff espoused by the Beach Boys, but somehow never got the T-birds to match. But now, partly thanks to Q, he's back and he wants your soul.
The Garage, Highbury Corner N5 (071-607 1818) 28, 29 March
