Wednesday’s Los Angeles concerts:

► Beloved ’90s indie-rockers Claw Hammer — reunited to accept Drive Like Jehu’s invitation to play the ATP Festival in Manchester, England, later this month — play the Echo along with Saccharine Trust and Carla Bozulich (Geraldine Fibbers).
► Underworld and Bob Moses do a Coachella sideshow at the Fox Theater Pomona.
► Purity Ring and HEALTH warm up for Coachella at the Observatory.
► Gleefully outrageous U.K. sextet Fat White Family play the Satellite behind their new album “Songs for Our Mothers,” with Gateway Drugs opening.
