Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: You know all those colloquial adjectives I generally avoid like dope, sick, insane, rad? They apply to this weekend’s Burgerama 4 at the Observatory. Weezer, Ty Segall, Gang of Four, FIDLAR, Black Lips, Thee Oh Sees, Black Angels, Bone Thugs, Nick Waterhouse, Roky Erickson, Tijuana Panthers, Cherry Glazzer … the list goes on. $90 plus fees for a two-day pass.

@Seraphina_L recommends: After playing SXSW, U.K. trio Years & Years make its L.A. debut as part of It’s a School Night on Monday. Originally scheduled to play Bardot with Marlon Roudette and Laura Welsh, the trio’s popularity prompted promoters to move the show from Bardot and downstairs to the Avalon. With songs like “King,” “Desire” and “Take Shelter,” Years & Years will also bring their fusion of ’90s house and R&B to the Troubadour on Wednessday night where Laura Welsh will join them on the bill again.
