Glasvegas [pictured], the Glaswegian quartet with the thick brogues, gnarly guitars and big hype, hits L.A. for the first time, playing a Troubadour show that was sold out long ago. Fun night in Long Beach, where the Meat Puppets and Stab City visit Alex’s Bar. … A strong local bill at 3 Clubs offers Les Blanks, Death to Anders and the Soft Hands. … Stones Throw’s Dam-Funk brings the beats to the Echo. … Alex & Sam are back at the Silverlake Lounge, and at the Hotel Cafe, tuneful quartet the Rescues carry on with their Wednesday night residency.
