This Friday lineup feels like party time …

‣ Party-starting electro outfit Wallpaper ought to be mighty festive tonight when they headline the El Rey Theatre – the project fronted by Ricky Reed has moved up to Epic Records from indie Boardwalk, it was announced last week. Youngblood Hawke and Speakers open. That’s Wallpaper’s animated video for “F*cking Best Song Everrr,” above.
‣ Speaking of parties, Kid Sister holds forth at the Avalon. Her “Kiss & Tell” EP came out in November/
‣ Har Mar Superstar is back at the Satellite for more of his tuneful shenanigans.
‣ And U.K. pop-noir trio the Good Natured top the bill at the Echo. It’s the first of a couple L..A. shows (plus a TV appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live”) for the band working toward the spring release of its debut.
