Friday’s fun:

► Purity Ring visits the Fonda Theatre behind their new album “Another Eternity,” with Born Gold supporting.
► The Acid headline the El Rey Theatre.
► Stephin Merritt of the Magnetic Fields does the first of two nights at the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever. Joined by bandmate Sam Davol, he will perform an acoustic set of selected songs — exactly 26 songs with each song title starting with a different letter of the alphabet and running in alphabetical order.
► And Jessie Baylin plays the Troubadour behind her new album “Dark Place.” Jim & Sam support.
