[Birthday greetings to Ross Flournoy of L.A.’s own Apex Manor. And tonight …]

Top picks for your Wednesday:

‣ Liverpool pop whippersnappers the Wombats hit the Troubadour behind their latest album “This Modern Glitch” (remember the fun video we posted in January?). Wild Party and Pop Noir open.
‣ Super Furry Animals main man Gruff Rhys [see February’s post] headlines the Echo.
Eels visit the Galaxy Concert Theatre in Santa Ana, supported by the Watson Twins.
‣ And a good local bill (and free show) at the Satellite, with Seasons, Modern Time Machines, the Terrapin and Pony Village.
