Thoroughly Thursday:

‣ Long-running post-punk outfit Mission of Burma rocks the Roxy, supported by GRMLN and Terror Tuesday.
‣ Accordion masters/zydeco phenoms Jeffery Broussard & The Creole Cowboys bring a slice of Louisiana to the Skirball Cultural Center for its free Sunset Concerts series (7 p.m.) – there will be a dance floor in place for tonight’s show.
‣ Fresh off a big set at FYF Fest, Ty Segall kicks off four consecutive nights at the Echo in support of his new album “Manipulator” (out this week). Meatbodies and Birth Defects open.
‣ Jason Mraz appears at the Pantages Theatre in support of his new album “Yes!,” his fifth. Raining Jane supports. Above is Mraz’s video for “Love Someone,” off the new album.
‣ It’s a second night of Jack Johnson and Bahamas at the Greek Theatre.
