A super Saturday for shows:

‣ The legendary Ian Hunter is 73, but the Mott the Hoople main man sounds every bit the impetuous youth on his brawny new album “When I’m President.” Ian Hunter & the Rant Band visit the El Rey Theatre tonight. His live setlists have included new material and catalog gems, including “Saturday Gigs” and, yes, “All the Young Dudes.”
‣ Early show alert: Long-running L.A. indie rockers Radar Brothers celebrate the release of their new album “Eight” (just out on Merge) with a show at the Echo, supported by Babies On Acid and Young Unknowns. Doors at 5 p.m. [See “If We Were Banished.”]
‣ Punk-rock quintet the Bronx mark the release of their new album “IV” (out next Tuesday) with a show at Los Globos. Death Hymn #9 and Single Mothers open. [Check out “Youth Wasted.”]
‣ And indie-rock sextet Handshakes headline the Satellite behind their new EP “Villains and Crooks,” playing with an excellent lineup of local acts including Max & the Moon, Wages, Fire in the Hamptons and Bedcake.
