More updates on the Sunset Junction-displaced bands, adding to news about new local gigs for boldfaced bands such as Butthole Surfers, Art Brut, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Helmet:

• The Californian, Chasing Kings (pictured) and Cinderella Motel, three bands who lost gigs after Sunset Junction was denied it permit, will team up for a free show Friday night at the Satellite.

Saturday at Bordello, starting at 7 p.m. and playing on the hour: Ricky Lee Robinson, Tic Tic Boom, Lovers Drugs and Queen Caveat. At the R Bar, starting at 9: Marvelous Toy and the Broken Numbers Band.
