Above: The Desert Daze Caravan, a psychedelic trip if ever there was one, pulls into Southern California this week, headed up by U.K. quartet Temples, whose new album “Volcano” arrives Friday. The tour also features Seattle’s Night Beats, along with L.A.’s Deap Vally, Froth (whose new album “Outside [briefly]” came out last week) and JJUUJJUU. You have three chances to catch the caravan: Thursday at the Glass House (tickets); Friday at Pappy & Harriet’s (tickets); or Saturday at downtown’s Regent Theater (tickets).
More highlights
Seven more things about this week:
► Summer Moon (Nikolai Fraiture of the Strokes, Stephen Perkins of Jane’s Addiction, Camila Gray of Uh Huh Her and Noah Harmon of the Airborne Toxic Event) released their debut “With You Tonight” last week and headline the Troubadour tonight. Tickets.
► The House of Blues Anaheim reopens Tuesday at its new location, welcoming Social Distortion for two nights, Anderson .Paak & the Free Nationals on Thursday, Chase Rice for two nights and Korn on Sunday. Ticket info.
► Best Coast and Grouplove head up a host of L.A. standouts at Don’t Sit Down: A Benefit Standing With Planned Parenthood. The concert is Saturday at the El Rey Theatre. Tickets.
► After quietly undergoing an ownership change and going dark concert-wise for more than a month, El Cid has rebooted with a partial show calendar that on Thursday includes a free night with Dead Sara. It’s a residency, and they will play again March 9 and 16.
► Yes, that’s Creeper Lagoon reuniting for a show Friday night at the Echo. It’s the first time the Bay Area quartet’s core lineup of Ian Sefchick, Sharky Laguana, David Kostiner and Dan Carr have played together since 2001. Tickets.
► Speaking of reunions, Shiny Toy Guns’ show Friday at the Regent Theater — 10 years after their debut “We Are Pilots” was nominated for a Grammy — is sold out. So they’ve added a second show at the Regent on March 16. Kitten opens both shows. Tickets.
► And Matt Pond PA has been making evocative and often pastoral indie-rock for almost two decades: 11 full-lengths and eight EPs in all. He and his band visit Resident on Saturday night behind his most recent, “Winter Lives.” In a cozy room, it should indeed. Tickets.
