Monday: 11/03
- TV EYE: Gleemer, Flooding, Euphoria Again
- Slowcore legends Gleemer dropped End of the Nail in 2024. You may be familiar with Gauze, but the band’s more recent work, like Brush Back, is just as melancholic and brooding.
Tuesday: 11/04
- Le Poisson Rogue: Vivian Girls, Trophy Wife
- Fringe bangs, sensible sweetness, early 2000s indie twee…Vivian Girls, who adopted their name from Henry Darger’s In the Realms of the Unreal, remains a staple. So, where do you run to?
- Transpecos: Field Test, Model Minority, Opera
- field test’s debut ep findings is tried and true shoegaze. The band sounds similar to Whirr or Swervedriver, a Slide Away type of sound.
Wednesday: 11/05
- TV EYE: Public Circuit, Le Bang, AFK, Crate
- Commit SYNTHICIDE – head to TV EYE and dance to Public Circuit. The band’s latest LP, Modern Church, uses synths straight out of 1980. Yum.
Thursday: 11/06
- Barclays Center: Playboi Carti
- To quote Control, “Where my Carti fans at?” Right here. Tickets are going for as low as $75, which is pretty reasonable to see Carti in the flesh.
- Elsewhere: RIXXIA, Ayegy, Moonbby
- TV Eye: Grumpy, 2nd Grade, D.A. Crimson
- Nightclub 101: @, Asher White, Free Body Estimate
- In 2021, 100 miles apart, guitarist Victoria Rose and musician Stone Filipczak created Mind Palace Music from their respective Macbooks. @’s music may literally be “bedroom” music, but it’s so much more. Who doesn’t love intimate and raw folk pop?
- Silver Linings Lounge: Audrey McGraw, Rose Paradise, Diva Smith
- Lipps Service Live presents Audrey McGraw, Rose Paradise, Diva Smith. This bill boasts some of the best singer songwriters in the city. Thursday night is all about acoustic guitars and heartfelt lyrics.
Friday: 11/07
- Brooklyn Steel: Minus the Bear, Speedy Ortiz
- 20 years of Menos el Oso! Minus the Bear is celebrating their anniversary with a show at Brooklyn Steel, solidifying my personal truth that 2000s indie rock will live forever.
- Union Pool: Bill Orcutt, Steve Shelley, Ethan Miller Trio
- American guitarist and composer Bill Orcutt’s album How to Rescue Things is everything. Orcutt’s work is cinematic, paced, and soaring. It is for the depths of the night and the earliest of dawns.
- Nightclub 101: Whitney
- Whitney are the epitome of 2016 indie darlings. No Woman is buried somewhere within your subconscious, trust me. The band just dropped their fourth LP, Small Talk, and much like the earlier work, it’s tinged with indie charm.
Saturday: 11/08
- Stone Circle Theatre: Fingerswoventogether, Silk, death becomes her, deceit
- In the basement of Stone Circle Theater, C86 presents fingerswoventogether, Silk, death becomes her and deceit. Modern screamo, metalcore, emoviolence, and post-emocore; this bill covers all the bases. Noting that Subterranean is a small room and advanced tickets are recommended.
- Baby’s All Right: Rocket, Cashier
- I have R is For Rocket on repeat. Rocket’s new album is delicate and distorted; nuanced, yet so clear. Do yourself a favor and listen to Number One Fan.
- Racket: Throwing Muses
- The Throwing Muses may be associated with 90s college rock, but the band has put out two records in the past five years. Don’t worry, the band’s latest release, Moonlight Concessions, remains in the same sonic vein as The Real Ramona.
Sunday: 11/08
- Transpecos: postcard nowhere, Mila Culpa, Parlor Hour, iD-sus
- Beacon Theatre: The Goo Goo Dolls
- It’s easy to hate on The Goo Goo Dolls, but it’s hard to skip Iris when it comes on the radio. I have a theory that everyone secretly loves Dizzy up the Girl.
