Music: So Many Wizards at Smell on Friday

The local combo So Many Wizards has a bit of Vampire Weekend’s humid single-string guitar riffery to it, but the band approaches songwriting in a nonlinear fashion that makes the twee-ness of its vocals seem studied and wry instead of cloying. Here the band releases a new single, “Inner City/Best Friends.” The Smell, 247 S. Main St., L.A. 9 p.m. Fri. $5. thesmell.org.
