Top 3 pre-Thanksgiving shows:

‣ Psych-rock feast at the El Rey Theatre, with Black Mountain and the Black Angels.
‣ Talib Kwel’s “Gutter Rainbows” album-release party at the Roxy is free with a donation of a blanket, scarf, gloves or socks. (Subject to capacity, of course.)
‣ And for something a little more chill: A trio of excellent singer-songwriters – Ian Ball of Gomez, Evan Slamka of Square on Square and Sara Melson – get together for “Desert Nights” at the Standard Hotel Hollywood’s Cactus Lounge.
