[Fabrizio Moretti hits the big three-oh today. Drinks at the Little Joy?]

Top 5 ways to get through your humpday:

‣ Born-again indie band Hot Hot Heat (that’s the video for “21@12,” above) kicks off its residency at the Bootleg Theater, with up-and-coming pop fanatics Chasing Kings and swoonworthy Stone Darling opening.
‣ School of Seven Bells (refresher course: Benjamin Curtis from Secret Machines, with Alejandra and Claudia Deheza of On!Air!Library!) debuts music from its sophomore album “Disconnect From Desire” at the Echo.
‣ The Living Sisters [also appearing on Morning Becomes Eclectic today, as they say, in the 11 o’clock hour] play the Hotel Cafe.
‣ Miike Snow plays its third sold-out L.A. show in five days at the Fonda Theatre.
‣ Ashes Divide kicks off a residency at the Viper Room.

Your tastes may vary: Daedelus and Nosaj Thing head up a big lineup at the Low End Theory at the Airliner (but it’s members-only?); Friendo and Gamble House at Spaceland; Cute Is What We Aim For at the Troubadour; Junior Cat at the Echoplex; John Wicks & the Records at the Mint; Kansas’ the Roman Numerals (featuring members of the Get Up Kids, the Golden Republic, Season To Risk and Shiner) join El Ten Eleven at the Silverlake Lounge; and Dan Black at the Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa.
