■ On Dec. 4, Grandson released his debut album “Death of an Optimist,” a powder keg of rock, pop and rap addressing our collective calamities in 2020. Or, as we like to call it, Life in a Time of Doom-Scrolling. Tonight at 5 p.m. he does a one-night-only live stream, titled “Death of an Optimist: The Movie.” Here, Buzzbands.LA offers an exclusive look at the show — Grandson performing the track “WWIII.”

Tickets are on sale here.
