It’s a heavy-duty Friday:

‣ Cold War Kids [that’s Nathan Willett from their February show at the Bootleg Theater, above] headline the Fonda Theatre behind their new album “Dear Miss Lonelyhearts,” with Superhumanoids opening.
‣ Shout Out Louds and Haerts do a second night the El Rey Theatre
‣ Indie-pop trio Sir Sly – just signed to Cherrytree/Interscope Records and with their first EP “Gold” just out this week – headlines the Troubadour.
‣ Mikal Cronin [see the video “Change”] visits the Echo behind his recent release “MCII,” with Pangea and Gap Dream opening.
‣ Amanda Jo Williams celebrates the release of her fourth album “You’re the Father of My Songs” with a show at El Cid, where she’s joined by Dorian Wood and Tommy Santee Klaws.
‣ It’s a night of Swedish metal at the Roxy, where Opeth and Katatonia rattle the rafters.
‣ And Japanese experimentalists Boris rock the Echoplex, supported by Deafheaven and Ides of Gemini.
