Happening Monday: Weird Al, Smurfs at the zoo and more

EVENTS

Smurf Day at L.A. Zoo Are there enough blue creatures in the world? We’ve always thought there could be more. Sprucing up the zoo and celebrating the release of the film “The Smurfs,” the creations from Belgian cartoonist Peyo will be meeting visitors, beginning a week of Smurf-related events in L.A. As a bonus, enjoy the blue animals at the zoo, including the blue-and-gold macaw, Sclater’s blue-eyed lemur, and blue peafowl. Los Angeles Zoo, 5333 Zoo Drive, Los Angeles. 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. $14. lazoo.org

MUSIC

Crystal Antlers The local psych-punk band hit a rough patch when its label Touch & Go went belly up. But with a strong, cutting new release, “Two-Way Mirror,” and an Echo residency, it looks they may be on sure footing again. The Echo, 1822 Sunset Blvd., L.A. 9 p.m. Free. attheecho.com

The Apple Sisters The retro song-and-dance comedy trio embarks on a fanciful USO tour to Hawaii with the sailors of the USS Intrepid.

An Evening With Weird Al Yankovic Singer-satirist Weird Al has been skewering pop songs and pop culture for more than 30 years, recording such memorable parodies as “Eat It,” “Smells Like Nirvana” and “White & Nerdy.” This evening he’ll discuss his work, including his latest album, “Alpocalypse,” and take audience questions. Grammy Museum, 800 W. Olympic Blvd., L.A. 8 p.m. $25. (213) 765-6803. grammymuseum.org
