Sunday evening things, with an L.A. debut on top:

‣ U.K. shoegaze quintet TOY – getting a bunch of deserved kudos for their debut album “Join the Dots” and even drawing comparisons to Rise – made their L.A. debut at Part Time Punks at the Echo. Cold Showers and Von Haze support. Above, TOY’s “Motoring.”
‣ Speak continues its residency at the Bootleg Bar, supported by the Reflections and Blow.
‣ And the Whisky’s 50th-anniversary shows continue with a show from Martha Davis & the Motels, still sounding great 30 years after “Suddenly Last Summer.”
