Top rock stops if you’re not headed to Night 3 of Florence + the Machine:
‣ Busy boys, those Chasing Kings. They kicked off their Silverlake Lounge residency last week and allowed as how they’re holing up in the studio to record new songs they hope to have completed by the end of the month. The second installment of said residency is tonight, with Moses Campbell supporting and an early set from Australia’s the Jefferson.
‣ Week 2 of Black Apples’ residency at the Echo features Tijuana Panthers and Future Ghost.
‣ Dirt Dress continues its run at Spaceland, with Summer Twins and Ghost Porn opening.
‣ And Tom Morello and Boots Riley bring Street Sweeper Social Club back to L.A. for a gig at the Roxy.

Your tastes may vary: After Florence + the Machine’s Wiltern show, opening act Hanni El Khatib plays the afterparty at It’s a School Night at Bardot. … A Perfect Circle plays its first album “Mer de Noms” in its entirety at the Avalon. … And also: Quadron at the Hotel Cafe; Mark Ballas at the Mint; Phil Alvin at the Redwood Bar; and Marquee Cody Wood at the Viper Room.
