Friday fun:

‣ Maximo Park rolled in with the second wave of British post-punk bands last decade, and the quintet shows on its fourth album, “The National Health” (which came out in June), that it’s still at the top of its game. They visit the El Rey Theatre tonight, supported by the Neighbourhood and Zambri. That’s Maximo park’s video for “Hips and Lips,” above. Go ahead, try it at home.
‣ Austin rockers the Bright Light Social Hour roar into the Bootleg Theater, supported by Wake Up Lucid and Infantree at the Bootleg Theater
‣ Azure Ray – new EP “As Above So Below” in hand – joins Soko for a show at Largo.
‣ Malaysian songstress Zee Avi teams up with Henry Wolfe for a show at the Echoplex. Venue change alert: That shows was originally scheduled for the First Unitarian Church.
‣ And ’70s garage-punk revivalists Broncho buzz in from Oklahoma to headline the Satellite. Also on board: the Lovely Bad Things and Bad Weather California.
