‣ It’s a solid night at the Roxy with Abandoned Pools, 8MM [see “Around the Sun” from Wednesday], Soundcannon, the Blank Faces and Second Wheel.
‣ Electronic maestro Pretty Lights brings his combination of funk, hip hop, soul and dubstep over to the Shrine Auditorium.
‣ Avicii competes for ravers at the Santa Monica Civic.
‣ The Bolts [see “Walk Away” from Thursday], Hudson and Young Beautiful In A Hurry and DJ Josh Stevens all team up at the Troubadour.
