Big doings all over town — under the stars, there is Jackson Browne at the Greek Theatre; Buddy Guy, Dr. John and the Lower 911 and James Cotton at the Hollywood Bowl; and, on a smaller scale but no less enjoyable, Olin and the Moon’s free early show at downtown’s Pershing Square. … … N.A.S.A. [pictured] brings its Intergalactic Circus to the El Rey Theatre. … In the It-Was-Good-the-First-Time-So-Do-It-Again Dept.: Black Francis and Mere Mortals do the second of two nights at the Mint; Dawes (joined by Paige Stark) does the second night of its residency at the Echo; and Wait Think Fast does another rousing Wednesday at downtown’s La Cita. … Excellent bill at the Knitting Factory, with Avi Buffalo and the Parson Red Heads joining New Jersey’s Roadside Graves. … Also: Maxim Ludwig at the Hotel Cafe; the Kelly Buchanan Benefit at the Troubadour with Glen Phillips, Sara Bareilles, the Rescues and Maria Taylor; Sky Parade and Dissolver at Club NME at Spaceland; San Francisco’s French Miami at the Silverlake Lounge; Dynamite Walls at the Viper Room; and High on Fire at Alex’s Bar in Long Beach.
