Indoors and outdoors, your Saturday:

‣ Buzzing 21-year-old rapper Azealia Banks brings her “Mermaid Ball” to the Fonda Theatre.
‣ L.A. quartet Saint Motel celebrates the release of its debut full-length “Voyeur” at the El Rey Theatre, supported by Princeton and Chasing Kings.
‣ Moby does an acoustic set and then DJs in the outdoor park next to the Annenberg Space for Photography as part of the celebration for the exhibition “Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present.” Lots of RSVPs for this one.
‣ More music as fresco, and some good ones – composer Nitin Sawhney at California Plaza downtown; indie-rockers Thao With the Get Down Stay Down [pictured] at Levitt Pavilion Pasadena; and Allah-Las and Sonny & the Sunsets at Levitt Pavilion MacArthur Park.
‣ And veteran troubadour Ray Wylie Hubbard swings through town on tour behind his new album “Grifter’s Hymnal,” setting up shop at McCabe’s Guitar Shop.
