Your jam-packed Tuesday evening:

‣ We’ll start today’s formidable list with our own small show: Buzz Bands LA’s SecondTuesday monthly songwriter night brings Fort King, College Kids and Doom & Gloom to Lot 1 Cafe. Doors at 9.
‣ Twelve musicians and seemingly a thousand rhythms strong, Afrobeat collective Antibalas visits the Echoplex behind its first album in five years, a self-titled affair. That’s the band’s puppet-filled video for “Dirty Money,” above. The band will appear at Origami Vinyl at 5 p.m. for a meet-and-greet/autograph session.
‣ Regina Spektor visits the Greek Theatre behind her new album “What We Saw From the Cheap Seats.” Only Son (Jack Dishel from Moldy Peaches) supports. Spektor and Dishel made a song together too and you should check it out.
‣ Dead Can Dance, back with their first album in 15 years, hold forth at the Gibson Amphitheatre
‣ Soulful night ahead at the Fonda Theatre, where Alabama Shakes and Michael Kiwanuka at the Fonda Theatre
‣ Divine Fits, the all-star trio featuring Britt Daniel (Spoon), Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade) and Sam Brown (New Bomb Turk), plays the Bootleg Theater, with Kelly Paige and Rene Breton supporting.
‣ And the Kills do a second night at the Mayan Theatre.
