Saturday’s slate:

‣ Maybe it’s time to go back to college? Today’s KXSC Festival (5 p.m.-midnight) brings headliners Nosaj Thing (pictured at Coachella last year) and Belgium’s Starfucker to Founders Park on the USC Campus. The free, all-ages event will also feature White Fence, TRMRS, Only You and Fiore, with Dublab, Downtown Lobby and folks from the student-run radio station DJing.
‣ Unknown Mortal Orchestra headlines the Echoplex, supported by White Arrows along with the aforementioned TRMRS.
‣ Veronica Falls and Bleached team up for a show at the Bootleg Bar.
‣ War Widow head up a night of indie rock at the Satellite, with Battle Tapes and Echoes De Luxe supporting.
‣ Death to Anders closes out its residency at Casey’s downtown in very ambitious form – the L.A. indie-rockers will perform the Pixies’ album “Surfer Rosa” in its entirety. One of our favorite local purveyors of Britpop, Fonda, also plays.
