Above: Who would’ve thought that Chazwick Bradley Bundick would someday be headlining the Fonda Theatre? It’s true; the 26-year-old, aka Toro y Moi, hits the Fonda on Sunday night behind his new album “Anything in Return.” Above, Toro y Moi’s video for “So Many Details.”

Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: Pretending like its summer this Saturday. March comes in like a lion, with two DIY local festivals – the Ranch party in Topanga Canyon with OFWGKTA’s The Internet, Kisses, Races, the Record Company, Jeffertitti’s Nile HOTT MT and many more, and the day/night What Cheer! Fest at the Silverlake Overpass, featuring Feeding People, Tapioca & the Flea, Rainbow Jackson, Moses Campbell, Draemings, Criminal Hygiene and a bunch more. Or maybe you’ll be too hung over from Morrissey on Friday night.

@Seraphina_L recommends: Ramona Falls and Social Studies at Bootleg on Tuesday. Ramona Falls, spearheaded by ex-Menomena member Brent Knopf, stops in town in support of their sophomore record “Prophet.” San Francisco’s Social Studies will also be playing in support of their sophomore album “Developer.” Sexy Jail opens the night.
