Above: That’s the Corin Tucker Band’s video for “Neskowin,” a song off the band’s sophomore album “Kill My Blues,” out in September via Kill Rock Stars. They play the Echo on Tuesday.

Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: Patti Smith visits the Wiltern on Friday night behind the new album “Banga,” her first album of new music since 2004. She’s an icon. Enough said.
@Seraphina_L recommends: The Raveonettes at the El Rey Theatre on Monday night. The Danish shoegaze duo will be sure to set the venue ablaze with Raveonettes classics as well as new tunes from their recently released album “Observator” (out now via Vice Records). But if you’re a fan of dream-pop elements, opening act Melody’s Echo Chamber will be sure to warm you up with dreamy psychedelic nuggets off her self-titled debut (out now on Fat Possum).
