Thursday’s shows:

‣ Indians – the nom de tune of Copenhagen’s Søren Løkke Juul – was a bit soporific at the El Rey back in November when he opened for Other Lives, but now he’s fronting a trio instead of going it solo, and his new album “Somewhere Else” is raking in praise from Pitchfork and others. Indians co-headline the Echo tonight with Night Beds, with Cat Martino opening. Above, the video for “I Am Haunted.”
‣ Irrepressible roots-rockers Dave Alvin & the Guilty Ones and Marshall Crenshaw team up for a big show at the Troubadour.
‣ Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds live up to that $140 ticket at the sold-out Fonda Theatre.
‣ Zola Jesus rocks the Echoplex, supported by Wildcat! Wildcat!, Oddience and Beach Party.
‣ El Sportivo & the Blooz celebrate the release of their album “Nights & Weekends” with a show at El Cid. [Check out “Waking World.”]
‣ And Cold War Kids, with their new album “Dear Miss Lonelyhearts” on the way in April, play the Observatory in Santa Ana. Here’s a report from their show at Bootleg.
