It’s one crazy Friday:

‣ L.A. indie-pop outfit Wildcat! Wildcat! headlines the Echoplex, with Body Parts and Mt. Ossa supporting.
‣ Upstair at the Echo, it’s more indie-pop. Boston’s Magic Man headlines, supported by L.A. duo Scavenger Hunt and a mystery-identity getting some buzz for its funking synth-pop, Brooklyn’s Mother. Above is Magic Man’s new video for “Paris.”
‣ Australia’s John Butler Trio hits the Fonda Theatre behind their new album “Flesh and Blood,” with Little Hurricane supporting.
‣ With a new live album just out in January, Scottish rockers We Were Promised Jetpacks visit the El Rey Theatre.
‣ Folk-soul man Amos Lee headlines the Wiltern behind his latest release “Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song.”
‣ Local garage-rockers Criminal Hygiene celebrate their new “Withdrawn” EP by heading up a shot at the Bootleg Bar that includes Vamos and Tropical Popsicle.
‣ Mississippi indie-rockers the Weeks rock the Satellite behind their latest album “Dear Bo Jackson.” Ranch Ghost and the Singles open.
‣ And Boston-based Marissa Nadler [see “Dead City Emily”] plays the Church on York behind her new album “July.”
