Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: This is an idea whose time had come: KXLU, long at the heart of music happenings on the L.A. scene, is having a festival. The first KXLU Music Fest goes off Sunday starting at noon in Lawton Plaza at Loyola Marymount University, featuring a lineup of No Age, Audacity, So Many Wizards and GRMLN. And it’s free.

@Seraphina_L recommends: It’s a night of funky soul as only Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings can deliver it. With the new album “Give the People What They Want” just out, Jones and her band visit the Wiltern on Tuesday, with rising roots music sensation Valerie June opening.
