Above: That’s Babymetal‘s music video for “Megitsune” ((メギツネ; “Female Fox”). The Japanese vocal and dance trio, whose music is a fusion of metal and idol, plays their first ever headlining show in L.A. Babymetal stops by the Fonda on Sunday in support of their self-titled debut.

Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: Celebrate the release of Nightmare and the Cat’s debut album “Simple” as the Stewart brothers, Django and Sam, and gang headline the Roxy Theatre on Wednesday night with a supporting lineup of Max and the Moon and the Peach Kings.

@Seraphina_L recommends: It’ll be a fun night at the Greek Theatre as the Neighbourhood takes the stage with Danny Brown and White Arrows in tow on Thursday. If you need a little more rock and perhaps a bit of dream-pop then White Fence and Dream Boys at the Echo might be more of an appropriate fix.
