Our staff picks of the week:
@KRBronson recommends: Juliette Commagere celebrates the release of her third album “Human” with a show Wednesday at the Bootleg Bar. Refresh your memory by checking out her video for “Big Star.” That same night, Pere Ubu visits the Echo behind “Lady From Shanghai,” their first album in three years, so color us conflicted.
@Seraphina_L recommends: Malaysian singer-songwriter Yuna, now based in Los Angeles, headlines the Bootleg Theater on Thursday night in support of her latest album “Nocturnal.” [Check out “Rescue” from last week.] Monogem opens.
