Yes, this video’s a year old now, but I’ll use it to reinforce a familiar Buzz Bands mantra: early arrival recommended. If you are subjecting yourself to the overwrought strains of Kings of Leon tonight at the Hollywood Bowl (or if you’re there for indie-rock veterans Built to Spill), get to the amphitheater early for Nashville quartet the Features, whose 2009 album “Some Kind of Salvation” remains a house favorite at Buzz Bands HQ.

Top 5 other ways to service your World Cup hangover:

‣ Summer Darling’s residency at Spaceland (Wait. Think. Fast. opens).
‣ Mississippi Man’s residency at the Echo (with Superhumanoids and Useless Keys).
‣ The Outline’s residency at the Bootleg Theater (the Color Turning support).
‣ Yellow Red Spark’s residency at the Silverlake Lounge (with Pacific Hurt and Windy City Gentleman).
‣ And, in Hermosa Beach, Boyz Skule and Precious Medals and Minibar play Saint Rocke.

Your tastes may vary: Active Child and the Rescues at the RSVP-only It’s a School Night at Bardot; Mister Nervous and Non Ultra Joy at the Viper Room; the Mynabirds at the Hotel Cafe; Lindsey Harper at the Mint.
