Plenty of post-Coachella options this week with the King Khan & The Shrines/Black Lips collaboration The Almighty Defenders at the Great American Music Hall Tuesday, the previously profiled Japandroids at The Independent Friday and indie rock gods Yo La Tengo at the Fillmore all weekend long.

Our featured act this week is The Bronx, who play The Independent Wednesday. Since 2002, the Los Angeles' based outfit has been churning out hardcore and punk inspired tunes rooted in a similar rock purist tradition as their label owner John Reis' various incarnations (see: Hot Snakes, Rocket From the Crypt, The Night Marchers, Drive Like Jehu). It came as a bit of a surprise then when the band followed through last year on the long promised Mariachi El Bronx, a well-received straightforward and generally ironic-free mariachi record. Wednesday's show will feature full sets from both The Bronx and their mariachi alter-egos, complete with a full horn section and intended to be tasteful charro suits -- be sure to get there early to catch both acts.

As usual, you have a handful of other great options throughout the week, including Cleveland duo Mr. Gnome at Elbo Room tonight, the previously profiled Abe Vigoda with Vampire Weekend at The Fox Theater (tonight and Tuesday) and local garage favorites The Fresh and Onlys at The Eagle Tavern Thursday.
