Pop Music: Echo & the Bunnymen to perform this weekend at Club Nokia, House of Blues

POP MUSIC

Echo & the Bunnymen rose to the top of the pile of black-clad UK pop chart doomsayers with their epochal albums “Crocodiles” and “Heaven Up Here.” The band will reprise each at this stand, which should remind today’s crop of sad-sack indie rockers that melodrama can be expertly crafted and anthemic as well. Club Nokia, 800 W. Olympic Blvd., L.A. 9 p.m. Sat. $33-$42.50. clubnokia.com. Also at House of Blues Anaheim, 1530 S. Disneyland Drive, Anaheim. 8 p.m. Sun. $32.50. hob.com.
