Of great shows big and small:

‣ With a new album “Wit’s End” on the way in April, singer-songwriter Cass McCombs plays the Center for the Arts in Eagle Rock, joined by Big Search and Frank Fairfield.
‣ Har Mar Superstar and Marijuana Deathsquads wind up their residency at the Satellite – and it’s been quite a party – but the curiosity tonight is opener Samantha Ronson, performing with a live band.
‣ Sebadoh’s “Bakesale/Harmacy Remembering Time Tour” moves across town to the Echoplex. Lou Barlow and crew played the Troubadour on Thursday; expanded reissues of Sebadoh’s 1994 and 1996 albums are on the way.
‣ Goldenboy celebrates the release of his third album, “Sleepwalker,” on a Hotel Cafe bill that includes the 88 and Keaton Simons.
‣ At the Echo, it’s Brooklyn’s How To Dress Well, the nom de tune of producer Tom Krell, whose album of arty electro “Love Remains” got a medal of honor (or something) from Pitchfork. The soundscapes are pretty compelling, and so is director Ezra Ewen’s short film for “Date of Birth,” above. Shlohmo and Death Kit support.
‣ Justin Townes Earle, behind his latest album “Harlem River Blues,” plays a show at the Autry Museum.
‣ Pepper Rabbit is joined by Hands and Chain Gang of 1974 at the Bootleg Theater.
‣ And Max Bemis of Say Anything plays to a sold-out Troubadour, with Joel Jerome of Dios opening.
