Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: In a week there is simply an embarrassment of riches show-wise, I’ll pick any of the four shows this week by the Zombies. It’s been 45 years since the landmark album “Odessey and Oracle” was released, and who knows how much longer principals Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent, both 68, will continue to tour in this incarnation. They play Monday at the Troubadour, Tuesday at the Observatory, Thursday at McCabe’s (an acoustic “storytellers” session with just Blunstone and Argent) and Friday at the Satellite.

@Seraphina_L recommends: Local Natives kick off their North American tour this week and they stop by the Greek Theatre for a hometown show in support of their latest album “Hummingbird” (out now via Frenchkiss). Dream-pop band Wild Nothing, the brainchild of Jack Tatum, joins them on Friday as support.
