Above: Noah & the MegaFauna’s dark video for “When You’re Down (The Slackjaw’s Serenade),” off the L.A. ensemble’s album “Anthems for a Stateless Nation.” Noah & the MegaFauna, already at work on a follow-up with producer Adam Lasus, play the Echoplex on Thursday with Killsonic and Tommy Santee Klaws.

Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: Punch Brothers at the Luckman Fine Arts Complex on Saturday. Not only is the New York quintet regarded among the finest purveyors of bluegrass music in the land, Chris Thile recently received a MacArthur “Genius” Grant. Oh, and the Milk Carton Kids – the L.A. duo of Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan, recently signed to Anti- Records – open.
@Seraphina_L recommends: Wild Belle at the Echo on Monday night. The Chicago-based band fronted by sister and brother Natalie and Elliot Bergman roll in to town again in anticipation of their highly anticipated forthcoming debut “Isles.” Seattle’s Deep Sea Diver (who will be playing in support of their debut “History Speaks”) and L.A.’s Pageants also round out the bill.
