Thursday’s thicket of things:

‣ It’s been too long since we’ve heard from Crash Kings. The L.A. trio of Tony and Mike Beliveau and Jason Morris, who had a hit with “Mountain Man” off their 2009 album, have been working on a follow-up and will play a bunch of new material tonight at the Troubadour, where they head up a big local lineup including Light FM, Bethpage Black and the Active Set.
‣ Saul Williams plays the El Rey Theatre behind his latest release, “Volcanic Sunlight.”
‣ With her second album, the Rob Barbato-produced “See the Light” due March 27, Katy Goodman and her project La Sera headline the Satellite, with Magnetix, Cold Showers and Neverever supporting.
‣ Henry Wolfe, already at work on new material after last year’s “Linda Vista,” headlines the Bootleg Bar on a night that also features Rachel Goodrich, Haroula Rose and High Rise (Mike Moonves of Chief).
‣ Crystal Antlers make noise at the Echo, with Sleepy Sun and Feeding People supporting.
‣ The Swedish duo Korallreven – that’s Marcus Joons and Daniel Tjäder of The Radio Dept. – make their U.S. debut at the Echoplex in a show that will feature a guest appearance by Victoria Bergsman. The One AM Radio opens.
‣ And Rocco DeLuca plays the Hotel Cafe to support the release of his new album “Drugs ’n Hymns” (out this week).
