Dan DeLuca's Picks: Black Dahlia Murder, 'Archer,; Tiny Desk on the road & more

The Black Dahlia Murder
Melodic death-metal band that, like James Ellroy's 1987 novel The Black Dahlia, takes their name from the lurid killing of Elizabeth Short in Los Angeles in 1947. Touring behind their new album, Abysmal, with Fallujah and Disentomb. Sunday at Voltage Lounge.

Archer
Speaking of L.A. noir: Season Seven of Adam Reed's still-hilarious animated TV series is underway with the espionage agency formerly known as ISIS, led by bumbling superspy Sterling Archer, reconfigured as a private investigative firm caught in a mystery involving a familiar-looking body floating in a Hollywood swimming pool. Thursdays on FX.

Tiny Desk Concert
Bob Boilen, host of NPR's All Songs Considered and author of Your Song Changed My Life, takes his Tiny Desk concept on the road. Three Philadelphia acts - chamber-pop outfit Tutlie, rapper the Bul Bey, and singer-pianist Joy Ike - that competed in the 2016 contest won by Minnesota fiddler Gaelynn Lea will play at the WXPN-hosted event. Tuesday at World Cafe Live.

The Curse of the Ramones
Poignant Rolling Stone magazine cover story by the great rock writer Mikal Gilmore about the punk progenitors whose four original members are all dead. Comes with a maddening, argument-starting list of the 40 best punk albums of all time. (The Clash's 1977 self-titled debut is rightly No. 1.) On newsstands and online.

Lloyd Cole
Cultured Brit rock singer-songwriter, late of the Commotions and now based in Massachusetts, brings his "2016: My Retrospective Year" tour down the turnpike for an acoustic show. Friday at Tin Angel.
