Friday’s Los Angeles concerts:

► Winding up the two-month U.S. leg of their tour behind their second album “Too,” L.A. pop-punk quartet FIDLAR rocks the Regent Theater, supported by Dune Rats and Mind Meld. Hopefully, the throat problems that plagued Zac Carper and forced postponement of Wednesday’s show in San Francisco have abated.
► U.K. shoegazers Cheatahs [see Thursday’s post] visit the Echo, with Vulkano and Gazoota opening.
► At the Teragram Ballroom, it’s Michigan quintet Greensky Bluegrass, with the equally folksy Tumbleweed Wanderers.
► Reggae mainstays Soja light up the Hollywood Palladium.
► Historian [see “Pulled Under”] celebrates today’s release of “Current” with a show at the Lost Knight.
► And the Brownies and Lemonade folks bring the party to the Echoplex, headed by by Canadian producer/DJ Lunice, joined by Cavalier, Eric Dingus, Neo Fresco, Danny Seth and recent Dim Mak signee, Florida rapper Will Brennan.
