Mountains of midweek show options:

‣ Big day for L.A. legends the Go-Go’s: This afternoon they’ll be inducted into the Greek Theatre’s Rock Walk, and then they will celebrate Belinda Carlisle’s birthday. Then – and what better way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of their album “The Beauty and the Beat” – they’ll give a concert.
‣ Adele does her second L.A. makeup date (from shows she was forced to postpone in June), this one at the Palladium.
‣ L.A. quintet Races, their debut album on the way from Frenchkiss Records, play the Echo, opening for Colorado’s Candy Claws. Moses Campbell also plays.
‣ Signer-songwriter Soko, a full-length album on the way Oct. 31, headlines the Bootleg Theater. That’s the video for “No More Home, No More Love,” above, directed by Matt Amato and Tommy Mose Abbott. Marlon Rabenreither of the Sister Ruby Band and Psychic Friend, both performing solo, open.
‣ Mia Doi Todd brings the serene songs off her latest album “Cosmic Ocean Ship” to the Satellite.
‣ Cut Chemist brings his Tunnel Vision Tour with Edan and Mr. Lif to the House of Blues.
