Prince is doing three shows tonight at as-yet-unannounced locations, and here’s what else is up:

‣ The Twilight Singers visit the Music Box behind their fifth album (and first in five years), “Dynamite Steps.” Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s and Jonneine Zapata support.
‣ Austin quartet White Denim hits the Echo behind its newest release, “D” (out this week), with locals Rabbits Rabbits Rabbits opening.
‣ Portland’s Morning Teleportation (that’s the video for the title track to their album “Expanding Anyway,” above), headlines the Satellite, supported by Jaill and Devon Williams.
‣ Jack’s Mannequin warms up for seven-week national tour (followed by another month co-headlining with Guster) by playing a headlining gig at the Roxy.
‣ Two good songwriters team up at the Bootleg Theater – Shane Alexander and Rie Sinclair.
‣ Yellow Red Sparks head up a good lineup at the Silverlake Lounge that features Radars to the Sky and Golden Spell.
