‘Twas the weekend before Christmas and all through the clubs:

‣ Marissa Nadler [pictured] brings the dreamy folk music from her recent album “The Sister,” her sixth, to the Bootleg Bar, where Guy Blakeslee of the Entrance Band also performs.
‣ Big Black Delta rocks the Satellite; get there early for Lavinia Slaughter and Dekades.
‣ The Vandals do their 17th Annual Christmas Formal at the House of Blues.
‣ Dillon Francis does a second sold-out night at the El Rey Theatre.
‣ And the Growlers finish up their three-night run at Alex’s Bar in Long Beach, with Pangea and TRMRS opening.
