Best Coast today announced that their third album, “California Nights,” would be out May 5. Somebody’s cat, of course, makes a cameo in the short trailer for the record, the follow-up for 2013’s “Fade Away” EP.

The band — anchored around the duo of Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno — also announced a surprise show Thursday night at the Echo. The band also plays Pappy & Harriet’s on Friday night before venturing to San Francisco for NoisePop.

Tickets for the Echo show go on sale at noon today here.
