5 Show Picks for the Week

Monday: The New Pornographers at the Fonda Theatre

Beloved Canadian indie-rockers the New Pornographers last fall released their eighth album, “In the Morse Code of Brake Lights.” Their hefty fall/winter tour in support of the album is back in full swing, with a stop tonight at the Fonda Theatre. Tickets are still available.

Tuesday/Wednesday: Emily King at the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever

Grammy-nominated New Yorker Emily King last month released an acoustic album of new arrangements of songs from her highly regarded catalog. “An Evening With Emily King” stops by the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever on Tuesday (tickets) and Wednesday (sold out).

Thursday: Flor at the Glass House

Oregon-bred Flor is the latest indie-pop band to capture L.A.’s fancy, with last fall’s sophomore album “Ley Lines” full of exuberance and big hooks. They are paired with the smart, not-to-be-missed indie outfit Winnetka Bowling League on Thursday at the Glass House. Tickets.

Wednesday/Friday: Silversun Pickups

It’s been a while since Silversun Pickups have done a proper headlining date (not a benefit, festival or co-headliner)  in their hometown. The L.A. quartet plays a pair of shows this week in support of their latest album “Widow’s Weeds” — Wednesday at the Observatory (tickets) and Friday at the Wiltern (tickets) .

Saturday/Sunday: Sinéad O’Connor

Nothing compares to Sinéad O’Connor, the iconoclastic Irish singer who makes a rare trip to Southern California this week. On Saturday, she visits the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano (sold out) and on Sunday she holds forth at the El Rey Theatre (tickets).
