5 Picks for the Week
Wednesday/Thursday: The Lone Bellow at the Troubadour
“Half Moon Light,” first album from the Lone Bellow since 2017, is full of the trio’s signature rich harmonies and evocative lyrics. The New York band warms up for a nationwide tour with shows Wednesday and Thursday at the Troubadour, with Bellsaint opening the first and Laura Jean Anderson the second. Tickets: Wednesday; Thursday.
Thursday: Mavis Staples at the Soraya Center
Eighty years young, the legendary Mavis Staples performs a special concert on the campus of Cal State Northridge in support of her latest album, the Ben Harper-produced “We Get By.” Son Little, who just released his new album “Aloha,” opens the night. Tickets.
Thursday: Antibalas at the Regent Theater
Afrobeat greats Antibalas celebrated their 20th anniversary last week with the release of their new album “Fu Chronicles,” which came out Friday. The ensemble brings the party to the downtown’s Regent Theater on Thursday. Tickets.
Friday: Bat for Lashes at the Theatre at Ace Hotel
Natasha Khan, aka Bat for Lashes, last fall released her acclaimed new album “Lost Girls,” a work described by Stereogum as “a neon-lit, cinematic love letter to Los Angeles, to romance itself, to the sounds of our youth.” Her tour behind the album arrives at the Theatre at Ace Hotel on Valentine’s Day. Tickets.
Saturday: The Dream Syndicate at the Echoplex
You’d never know the Dream Syndicate went away for almost three decades. The influential psych-rock band, stalwarts of the Paisley Underground scene back in the day, last year released “These Times,” their second album since their 2012 reformation. They headline the Echoplex on Saturday, with Dime Box opening and Ronnie Barnett of the Muffs DJing. Tickets.
