Your wonderful Wednesday:

‣ Electro whiz Robert DeLong [that’s him and his arsenal of gear at Silver Lake Jubilee, above], just signed to Glassnote Records, headlines the Troubadour, supported by Incan Abraham and Tapioca and the Flea and Incan Abraham at the Troubadour
‣ Andy Clockwise plays King King, debuting material from his forthcoming “War Stories” album – a show, the press release promises, that features “drama, multimedia, costumes and his 20-piece choir, aptly named This Choir Kills Fascists.” [See the new track he recently unveiled, “Steam Dream.”]
‣ Marius, the folk-pop quartet from the Faroe Islands who were nothing short of mesmerizing on Tuesday night at Buzz Bands LA’s songwriter night at Lot 1 Cafe, play one more L.A. show before heading home. Tonight they’re at 3 Clubs, joined by Fort King, Charlie Clark and the Autumn Electric.
‣ And NYC four-piece the Dig, who are spending a month in SoCal behind their new album “Midnight Flowers” [see the video for “Animal Screams”], continue their Silverlake Lounge residency (which got off to a roaring good start last week). Nightmare Air and the Mid Cities at the Silverlake Lounge
