[We approach the Sunset Junction-less weekend with plenty of music options. Meanwhile, if you didn’t catch it, the Times had a story today on the aftermath …]

Your Friday fodder:

‣ That Dog reunites for the first of two-sold-out shows at the Troubadour. You’d be surprised (or possibly not) how many “new” co-ed bands around L.A. remind me of That Dog in its heyday (1991-97).
‣ Deadmau5 does the second of four big nights at the Hollywood Palladium.
‣ Veteran Bay Area singer-songwriter John Vanderslice hits the Echo, with Patrick Park supporting.
‣ Atmosphere bring their “Family Vacation Tour” to the Greek Theatre, where they will be joined by fellow Rhymesayers MCs Evidence and Blueprint.
‣ Good local show (and it’s free) at the Satellite featuring three Sunset Junction-deposed bands: Chasing Kings, the Californian and Cinderella Motel. And speaking of free local shows, LA Font continues its residency at Casey’s bar downtown.
