Store Day, the annual promotiona­l blitz when a bevy of rare and exclusive material is released on CD and vinyl. The ever-sunny Best Coast starts the day at 1 p.m., Jimmy Eat World takes the stage at 4 p.m., English guitarist Laurence Juber performs at 6 p.m. and Watt (who played Coachella with Iggy & the Stooges) closes the shop with an 8 p.m. concert. All that’s required for attendance is an RSVP to (562) 443-4996 and a pre-order of each artist’s Record Store Day item. Best Coast, Jimmy Eat World, Laurence Juber and Mike Watt at Fingerprin­ts Music (420 E. 4th Street, Long Beach). April 20. Cost: Varies, from about $6 to $24. Bat for Lashes

The moody dreamscape­s of U.K.based singer Natasha Khan are more dramatic live than they are on record, as Khan works the stage to heighten the tension in even the most minimal of her heavily electronic arrangemen­ts. Bat for Lashes at the Fonda Theatre (6126 Hollywood Blvd.). April 23. Cost: $41.75. Telekinesi­s

Michael Lerner’s Telekinesi­s, whose band now includes multi-instrument­alist Rebecca Cole from the punk-leaning Wild Flag, have grown into one of the most reliable powerpop outfits around, standing out with a mixture of soul romanticis­m and garage rock spunk. Telekinesi­s at the Echo (1822 W. Sunset Blvd/). April 25. Cost: $12.78. Robyn Hitchcock & the Venus 3, Peter Buck

Former R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck opens, but Hitchcock’s recently released “Love From London” shows the former Soft Boy, now 60, still has plenty of fire in him, whether defending the working class or musing on the end of his life. Robyn Hitchcock & the Venus 3, Peter Buck at the Troubadour (9081 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood). April 30. Cost: $30.88.
