Winging it on a Wednesday:

‣ U.K. quartet the Darkness rocks Club Nokia behind its comeback album “Hot Cakes.” You want camp? You should check out the video for “Everybody Have a Good Time,” which we can’t quite bring ourselves to post here
‣ Joss Stone visits the Wiltern behind her new album “The Soul Sessions Vol. 2,” with R&B revivalists Vintage Trouble opening.
‣ With its seventh album “Algiers” just out last month, Calexico headlines the Fonda Theatre, supported by San Francisco duo the Dodos (who just released their fourth album, “No Color.”).
behind the reand the Dodos at the Fonda Theatre
‣ And Brooklyn’s Here We Go Magic stops by the Bootleg behind their latest release “A Different Ship;” the Dig and We Shared Milk open. And it’s probably best that you not think too hard about HWGM’s video for “Hard to Be Close,” above.
