What's going on Sunday? (Priests, Juan Wauters, Those Darlins, Elway, Vaz, Roomrunner & more)
Priests @ MHOW, 2013 (more by Wei Shi)
Juan Wauters @ Pier 84, 2013 (more by Chris La Putt)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight’s shows, but here are some highlights…
Priests, Lazyeyes, Truthers @ The End
DC post-punks Priests are a pretty intense band, both with their aggressive, upfront lyrics and the fact that their music keeps the “punk” in “post-punk.” Their live show is really where it’s at too, and you can get a taste of that tonight.
Juan Wauters (of The Beets), Household, Las Rosas @ Baby’s All Right
Whether solo or with The Beets, Juan Wauters brings an idiosyncratic worldview and intensity to his songs and performance. He’s a NYC original. This is a release party for his new album, N.A.P. North American Poetry, which is out via Captured Tracks.
Vaz, Roomrunner, Multicult, Big Ups @ Death By Audio
It’s gonna get loud at this show, which includes the noise rock of Vaz, the grungy Roomrunner and their fellow Baltimoreans Multicult, and the caustic post-hardcore of Big Ups.
Those Darlins, Diarrhea Planet @ MHOW
These two Nashville bands both love rock ‘n’ roll, but in very different ways. Those Darlins kick around in the leather boot-wearing territory, whereas Diarrhea Planet don’t really care what they wear, because the rage of their live show will have them sweating all over it anyway.
Donuts Are Forever ft. DJ Jazzy Jeff & more @ Brooklyn Bowl
It’s February, which means J Dilla tributes. This one features DJ Jazzy Jeff and a bunch of others, and all proceeds benefit the Donuts Are Forever scholarship fund.
Whiskey Bitches, XNY, Unicycle Loves You, Haybaby, Adult Dude @ Radio Bushwick
There’s a bunch of local bands on this bill, but the one we think is most worth catching is Adult Dude, who have a great mix of Dinosaur Jr-style rock and Superchunk-style punk.
Elway, Sad and French, Chumped, Dr. Sillybones @ Saint Vitus
Colorado punks will open for The Lawrence Arms at Gramercy Theatre soon, but if you want to see them headlining a smaller place, tonight’s your shot. Also don’t miss Brooklyn’s Chumped, who keep pop punk real.
Comedy Night @ Knitting Factory
Big league comedy talent (Chris Rock, Louis CK, etc) show up regularly (and unannounced) for Hannibal’s very popular free comedy show at Knitting Factory’s front bar. Get there early.
