Patrick Park’s third album “Come What Will” arrives in April, and the L.A. singer-songwriter previews some of it tonight; he’ll be backed by a full band at the Hotel Cafe, where Spring Summer opens. … San Francisco quartet Lovelikefire, which has played a lot in L.A. the past few years, visits the Silverlake Lounge behind its new album  “Tear Ourselves Away” [that’s the video for “William,” above]. … Janelle Monae plays the first of a two-night stand at the Viper Room. … And reggae-lite dude Mishka (with HoneyHoney supporting) celebrates the release of his new “Aove the Bones” at the Roxy. Mishka is signed to J.K. Livin Records, the imprint owned by actor dude Matthew McConaughey (who was at SXSW checking out bands but, I hear, was somewhat less than cordial when asked to be photographed by a member of the Bronx). … Also: Titus Andronicus at the Bootleg Theater; the Asteroids Galaxy Tour at the Echo; White Arrows, along with Taylor Locke & the Roughs, at Bordello; and Acid Mother Temple and the Melting Paraiso U.F.O. at Spaceland.
