Happy Wednesday – there’s plenty afoot tonight:

‣ The long-awaited second album from Meiko, “The Bright Side,” will be out May 15, the L.A. songstress announced yesterday. It’s the follow-up to her self-titled debut, released in 2007 and picked up by MySpace Records (R.I.P.) in ’08. She returns to her home base, the Hotel Cafe, for a show tonight – maybe somebody will whip up some of those “Famous Turkey Balls” she makes in the video for “Stuck on You.”
‣ NME darlings Bombay Bicycle Club [see our post from Feb. 2] headlines the sold-out El Rey Theatre behind the U.S. release of their lauded (in the U.K. ) “A Different Kind of Fix.” Toronto art-rock quartet the Darcys open – visit their site for a free download of their interpretation of Steely Dan’s “Aja.”
‣ The Other Side of Morning celebrate the release of their album  “Letters From Your Love, the Madman” at the Roxy. TOY, Shawn Cook and Jane Carrey (Jim’s daughter) open.
‣ Liquid Love Letter [see our post from November] returns to the Bootleg Theater, with John Gold and Stephen Sowan supporting.
‣ And L.A. rockers Nacosta play a free night at the Satellite. [See our post from last week.]
