Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: It’s Coachella “sandwich week,” and plenty of the artists playing the sold-out festival in the desert have scheduled club and theater shows. One of my favorites: Franz Ferdinand, joined by Palma Violets, on Tuesday at the Fonda Theatre. After what I saw at Coachella, it’s worth a second helping.

@Seraphina_L recommends: With two Coachella weekend, SoCal gets a little extra in between. After making fans swoon at Coachella weekend 1, the Postal Service heads down to the Fox Theater in Pomona with local electronic artist Baths supporting.
