Above: Orlando Higginbottom, aka Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, brings his ’90s-flavored electro to the Fonda Theatre on Wednesday. Bust out your dancing shoes for “Your Love,” above.

Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club returns to the small rooms on a brief West Coast tour as the shoegazing trio finishes up work on its sixth album. Smoke machines on for Friday night at the Troubadour.
@Seraphina_L recommends: Haim at the Troubadour on Wednesday. The Haim sisters’ reputation has already outgrown their catalog, but this is one local headlining show you won’t want to miss. A forthcoming album is in the works and they’re bound to unveil some of those tunes. The Damn Sons open.
