Your Friday fodder:

‣ Magnolia Memoir, the L.A. jazz-pop quintet that conjures up the heyday of Billie Holiday, headlines the Troubadour. That’s the band’s Margaret Cho-directed video for “Broken Cup,” above.
‣ Summer Darling, working on material for a follow-up to last summer’s well-received debut, plays the Satellite, supported by  Polls and Future Ghost.
‣ Abandoned Pools, with the singles “In Silence” and “Marigolds” teasing Tommy Walter’s first album in six years (“Sublime Currency,” due out later this year), rock the Viper Room.
‣ LA Font kicks off a Friday residency at Casey’s downtown.
‣ And across the Orange County line, Devo brings its boundless energy to the Grove of Anaheim.
