Friday night fever? Here’s where temperatures will rise:

‣ Simian Mobile Disco headlines the Fonda Theatre. The U.K. duo recently released the four-song EP “A Form of Change,” the follow-up to its album “Unpatterns,” released earlier this year. That’s the video for “I Waited for You,” above.
‣ Nas and Ms. Lauryn Hill wind up their “Life Is Good/Black Rage” tour with a night at the Wiltern.
‣ No Doubt is back for another big night at the Gibson Amphithetre, this time with support from Fitz & the Tantrums (new album on the horizon in the spring) and our favorite purveyors of dirty reggae, the Aggrolites.
‣ Should be a festive atmosphere at the Roxy, where Capital Cities – just signed to Capitol Records – teams up with the Bolts for a big evening that also features the Nukes, 28 North and Raheem Cohen.
‣ Incan Abraham celebrates the release of its “Srpinghouse” 10-inch at the Echo, supported by HOTT MT and James Supercave.
‣ And psych-pop adventurer Vinyl Williams celebrates the release of his debut “Lemniscate” at the Bootleg Bar, with Gazoota and Moon Pearl.
