It’s Wednesday? Feels like a weekend:

â–º Portland indie-poppers Wild Ones [see “From Nothing”] swing back through L.A. for the second time this year — behind their debut album “Keep It Safe,” they’re at Club Bahia along with Elliot Moss and local sirens Smoke Season and Riothorse Royale.
â–º Singer-songwriter Mat Kearney headlines the Wiltern behind his new release “Just Kids” (his fifth full-length), with Parachute and Judah & the Lion supporting.
â–º Canadian fun bunch Hey Rosetta! visits the Bootleg HiFi behind their new album “Second Sight.” Banta opens. Above, the Newfoundland band’s video for “Soft Offering (For The Oft Suffering).” Side note: The high temperature in their native St. John’s will be 0 tomorrow.
â–º Folk-pop quartet Halsey kick off a co-headlining tour with Young Rising Sons with a sold-out date at the Troubadour. Get there early for Olivver the Kid and Flor.
â–º Howlin’ Rain headlines the Echo behind his new album “Mansion Songs,” supported by the Blank Tapes, the Shelters and Mild High Club.
â–º Hobart W Fink holds forth at the Satellite, joined by Egrets on Ergot, Flash Hits and Nightjacket.
â–º Austin’s Michael Hays revisits his old L.A. stamping grounds, playing the Mint along with Loch & Key, Chris Wessman, Lianna Joy and the Tulips.
â–º And the Crazy Brave celebrate the release of their self-titled EP with a show at the Silverlake Lounge. Arrive early for Nacosta, Mars & the Massacre and LA River Bend.
