Here’s your massive Saturday:

‣ Psychedelic Furs is chugging away at all their summer tour dates where they’ll be playing “Talk Talk Talk” in its entirety. Today they play downtown L.A. at Pershing Square. Badwater joins them.
‣ It’s a night of hip hop at the Troubadour with Dessa [Check out out “Warsaw”] headlining and local wordsmith Open Mike Eagle as support.
‣ Cillie Barnes does a night at the Bootleg Bar. Wild Ones and My Body round out the bill.
‣ Fellow blogger Rollo & Grady celebrate their 5-year anniversary at the Satellite with performances by Pangea, Meat Market, Criminal Hygiene and Chad & the Meatbodies. [That’s Criminal Hygiene’s video project above titled “A Musical Portrait” where friends took a track off of their debut LP “CRMNL HYGNE” and contributed to an inspirational mishmash, which former bassist James Watson edited into 40 minutes. Criminal Hygiene will perform with their new member Michael Hiller tonight.]
‣ South Africa’s indie rockers The Parlotones stop by to play the Viper Room. French Cassettes, Walla and 28 North also play.
‣ Anamanaguchi, Kitty Pryde and Ratchet Set team up at Los Globos.
‣ And you’ve got a variety of choices for outdoor concerts tonight. First up, Alfredo Rodriguez plays the Levitt Pavilion in Pasadena while Dan Navarro plays the Levitt Pavilion over in MacArthur Park.
‣ Seattle-based soul-infused rock band Pickwick plays the Getty Center in support of their latest album “Can’t Talk Medicine.”
‣ Over at Lake Skinner in Temecula, EDM fans are gearing up for another day and night of chaos at the festival Lightning in a Bottle. Today’s lineup includes Nicolas Jaar, Eskmo, Sorne and more.
‣ Olafur Arnalds brings his cinematic music from Iceland to the Glass House in Pomona in support of his latest album “For Now I Am Winter.” L.A.’s Haunted Summer opens.
