[Here’s wishing Nick Lowe the happiest of birthdays … Now for your busy night …]

Top choices for a Thursday:

‣ Wye Oak (pictured at SXSW), their third album “Civilian” getting a lot of deserved attention, headline the Echo, with Callers supporting.
‣ The Entrance Band continues its residency at the Satellite, with Jeffertitti’s Nile and My Pet Saddle opening.
‣ Long-running Kansas post-rockers the Appleseed Cast, their first new music since 2009 coming in June, visit the Echoplex.
‣ The Hours bring their anthemic Britpop to the Bootleg Theater, with Chasing Kings playing the early set and Army Navy playing late.
‣ And Theophilus London [see “Why Even Try”] holds forth at the Key Club.
