Best stuff from tonight’s embarrassment of show riches:

‣  The legendary Gang of Four wind up a 13-date U.S. tour tonight at the Music Box behind their new album “C O N T E N T.” Opening are energetic Canadian pop-rockers Hollerado – their one-take video for “Americanarama,” above, has gotten them a bunch of attention.
‣ Eastern Conference Champions (new album “Speak-Ahh” on the way April 26) open for Red Cortez on the third week of the L.A. quartet’s residency at the Satellite. The Mid Cities and Allah Las also perform. [Update on Red Cortez’s series of free EPs here.]
‣ Harper Simon joins in at Jenny O’s residency at the Bootleg Theater.
‣ Hands and Light FM provide the support for this week’s installment of Robotanists’ residency at the Silverlake Lounge.
‣ Everest and Papa perform as part of Slang Chickens’ residency at the Echo.
‣ And dance fans can catch Parisian house music guru Martin Solveig at Playhouse in Hollywood.
