Eight Picks for Your Week
■ Monday: Finn Andrews (of the Veils) takes listeners deep into a compelling darkness on his solo album “One Piece at a Time.” He plays the Moroccan Lounge. Tickets.
■ Monday: London six-piece Sports Team make bright, punchy indie-rock like it’s the mid-Aughts. (Think Franz Ferdinand, Maximo Park, the Futureheads). They are dipping their toes in U.S. waters for the first time make their L.A. debut at It’s a School Night. Info.
■ Tuesday: On the political tip, there’s a benefit for the ACLU at the Echoplex titled “Jane Roe v. 2019.” Dead Sara, Mondo Cozmo, Death Valley Girls, Shannon Lay and Secret Stare are among the performers, and there will be speakers, a silent auction, a raffle, voter registration and food. Tickets.
■ Tuesday/Wednesday: In March, Mike Deni — aka Geographer — released his “New Jersey” EP, a bittersweet ode to his home state. He has two shows showcasing the EP (and new material) at the Moroccan Lounge, with Manatee Commune and Adult Bodies opening the first night and Manatee Commune and Oliver Riot opening the second. Tuesday tickets; Wednesday tickets.
■ Wednesday/Friday: Chicago singer-songwriter Jamila Woods released her tour de force “LEGACY! LEGACY!” last month. She has two SoCal shows to support the release: Wednesday at the Constellation Room (tickets) and Friday at the El Rey Theatre (tickets).
■ Thursday: JR JR (fka Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.) returned in May with their new album “Invocations/Conversations,” their first album since 2015. They hit the Lodge Room to celebrate. Tickets.
■ Thursday/Saturday: Their pre-album release “car wash” show behind them, Local Natives are now touring in earnest in support of their new record “Violet Street.” Wrangle a ticket to see them Thursday at the Observatory or Saturday at the Palladium.
■ Saturday: Luis Dubuc — aka Mystery Skulls — has returned with the new album “Back to Life” and he’s back in action live at the Teragram Ballroom. Tickets.
