Eight picks (plus one) for the week:

■ Monday: The swaggering bunch known as Palm Springsteen — they of the “Hey There Cowgirl” single — kick off the week playing the free It’s a School Night at Bardot. RSVP.
■ Tuesday: Australian psych-poppers Methyl Ethel [see “Trip the Mains”] kick off the U.S. leg of their tour supporting their new album “Triage” with a night at the Echo.
■ Thursday: This week brings the release of “Downey,” the debut LP from L.A.’s NO WIN. The quartet headlines the Highland Park Ebell Club to celebrate. Tickets.
■ Thursday: Grab your earplugs and get to the Hi Hat for a free show featuring Spare Parts for Broken Hearts, Dancing Tongues and Potty Mouth. RSVP.
■ Friday: Cold Cave continues to churn out their delicious darkwave [see “Promised Land,” released in February] and their tour brings them to the Theatre at Ace Hotel for a night with ADULT and VOWWS. Tickets.
■ Friday: L.A. pop guys Private Island will release their album “5xx” in April — but first, there’s a big show at the El Rey Theatre, with Bay Ledges opening. Tickets.
■ Saturday: Fresh off a successful run at SXSW, Australia’s Amyl & the Sniffers hit L.A. to display some of the wares on their forthcoming debut, out May 24. [Recommended: “Monsoon Rock.”] They play the Bootleg Theater, with Richard Rose and Shark Toys opening. Tickets.
■ Sunday: Foals just released their new album “Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost — Part 1” and they do a highly anticipated show at the Shrine. Tickets.

✭ Under-the-radar pick of the week: Paul Larson is a veteran L.A. artist who’s made music with many great people in many iterations [see our 2009 interview here]. His new project is called Datamaps, and at a recent stripped-down performance the music recalled the doleful, horn-infused orchestrated pop he made with the Minor Canon. Catch Datamaps at the Hotel Café Second Stage on Friday night. Tickets.
