Share

ANAHEIM

4pm

Pop Music

Reventon Super Estrella is billed as the biggest Spanish-language pop-rock concert in the U.S., and like KIIS-FM’s Wango Tango and KROQ-FM’s Weenie Roast, the KSSE-FM-sponsored event goes straight to the commercial heart of the music. Among the attractions at the third annual addition is hot vocal group Son by Four.

* Reventon Super Estrella, with Carlos Ponce, Jaguares, Son by Four, La Ley, Moenia, others, at the Arrowhead Pond, 2695 E. Katella Ave., Anaheim. 4 p.m. Sold out. (714) 704-2500.

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO

8pm

Pop Music

Northern California’s The Mother Hips is still at work on the follow-up to the band’s 1998 album, “Later Days,” but in the meantime, it’s issued one song, “Third Floor Story,” appropriately enough for this ‘60s-rooted outfit, on vinyl. “There’s pretty much no country rock on [the new album],” songwriter Tim Bluhm told the SF Weekly recently. “It’s poppier, but it’s also more experimental.” Fans might get a preview come Saturday when the group returns to the Coach House.
