Three from a bunch of small shows we like tonight:

‣ Electro-poppers Death Kit, who recently performed live on a Gold Line train, headline the Silverlake Lounge. Because it’s humpday and we know a lot of girls named Jessica, we encourage you to download Death Kit’s latest single, “Jessica’s Twenties.” Standing Shadows open.
‣ Michael Runion [pictured] plays the Bootleg Theater. Recommended: Runion’s recently posted Daytrotter session.
‣ And Andy Clockwise – joined by Sweaters and Boyz Skule & the Precious Medals – rocks Spaceland.

Your tastes may vary: K’naan and Bruno Mars at the House of Blues; the Piper Downs, So & So and One High Five at Molly Malone’s as part of International Pop Overthrow; El-P (instrumental) at Low End Theory at the Airliner; Ty Segall at the Smell; Wavves at Madame Wong’s; Meiko and Jamie Drake at the Hotel Cafe; Bedouin Soundclash at the Huntington Beach Pier as part of the U.S. Open of Surfing; Young the Giant at the Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa; John Carpenter and Johnny O’Donnell at La Cita; No Apto at the Viper Room; Pyramids Sing and the Body Electric at Club Moscow at Boardner’s; Sons of the Lawless at the Mint; and Corridor at Echo Curio.
