A Friday night kickoff to a long weekend:

‣ Desaparecidos, back after a decade, warms up for its FYF Fest appearance with a sold-out show at the Troubadour. Have you heard the new song “MariKKKopa”?

‣ Old 97’s roll in to headline the El Rey Thatre, supported by Those Darlins.
‣ Sweden’s Niki & the Dove visit the Echo, with Devin (also slated to play FYF Fest) opening. [See our post on Niki & the Dove.]
‣ Yes, it’s that Billy Ray Cyrus, playing tonight at the Bootleg Bar. Doing the late set: Lostine, the new project from Chris Pearson of Gran Ronde.
‣ And These United States, whose new album features collaborations with Deer Tick, Cotton Jones, Phosphorescent, the Mynabirds and Langhorne Slim (among others), plays the Satellite along with Brown Bird and the Janks.
