‣ Bob Mould, whose three decades in rock includes seminal bands such as Hüsker Dü and Sugar and an estimable catalog of solo work, is feted in the program “See a Little Light: A Celebration of the Music and Legacy of Bob Mould” at Disney Hall. The program, hosted by veteran DJ Matt Pinfield, features performances by Dave Grohl, Britt Daniel, Ryan Adams, No Age, Craig Finn and Tad Kubler of the Hold Steady, Grant-Lee Phillips, Margaret Cho and Best Coast. And Mould himself will perform.
‣ The Cure kicks off three nights of its “Reflections” tour at the Pantages Theatre. Providing the fix: album performances of the band’s first three albums, 1979’s “Three Imaginary Boys,” 1980’s “Seventeen Seconds” and 1981’s “Faith,” plus a fourth set of fan favorites. With Morrissey playing three SoCal shows within the next week (according to a fan site, a show will be added Wednesday), it’s almost too much to bear.
‣ Blood Orange’s rescheduled gig goes off at the Skybar at the Mondrian Hotel.

Residency roundup
‣ The Janks, the Peach Kings and Rachael Cantu provide the support for Little Hurricane at the Bootleg. At top, it’s the Janks’ video for the title track of their new album, “Hands of Time.”
‣ Vanaprasta’s wild ride at the Satellite continues with Hands, Incan Abraham and Rainbow Jackson supporting.
‣ Major-label pop contender K. Flay is the biggest attraction at the Chain Gang of 1974’s Echo residency, but locals Lesands and Tic Tic Boom will add punch to the party.
‣ And at the Silverlake Lounge, where Hi Ho Silver Oh has been harmonizing, Leslie Stevens, Helena and the Cosmic Telegraph Company open.
