Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: Reunited punk-rock trio Babes in Toyland (the 1992-96 lineup of Kat Bjelland, Maureen Herman and Lori Barbero) play their first show in 18 years at the Roxy on Thursday. (There’s a warm-up at Pappy & Harriet’s on Tuesday).

@Seraphina_L recommends: The lovely and talented Natalie Prass, who just released her self-titled album, is in L.A. for two shows. She’s at Hotel Café on Wednesday night and at El Rey Theatre on Friday as support with Moses Sumney for Hundred Waters.
