Saturday night is all right for … incredible small shows:

‣ Tour De France, the L.A.-based songwriting duo of Bernadette Colomine and Samuel H Collin, celebrate the release of a new album with a show at the Bootleg Theater that promises guest turns by Rufus and Martha Wainwright. London-based Still Corners, witha new reord just out on Sub Pop, opens.
‣ Fruit Bats, their fifth full-length “Tripper” just out in August, headlines the Troubadour, with L.A. faves the Parson Red Heads supporting. That’s their video for “You’re Too Weird,” above.
‣ Inara George and Van Dyke Parks, backed by a chamber orchestra, team up for a show at the Getty Center.
‣ Portland indie-rockers Typhoon swoop into the Satellite for a show with Wild Ones and Youth.
‣ A new KXSC-sponsored Saturday series at Space 15 Twenty on Cahuenga kicks off with Wires in the Walls, Seasons, Black Elephant and Body Parts.
‣ The second of the three-night anniversary party for Post Present Medium brings Dunes, John Wiese, Total Abuse, Thee Urxed and more to the Smell.
‣ Pisces, the solo project from Sarah Negahdari of the Happy Hollows, heads up the lineup at Pehrspace.
‣ The Shakers celebrate the release of their album “Oh So Loud” at the Viper Room, with Automatique and Badwater opening.
‣ And Downtown/Union, with a new EP “Deal Gone Wrong” just hitting, plays Lot 1 Cafe, with Geronimo Getty supporting.
