Power Trip at Saint Vitus in January (more by Caroline Harrison)
Power Trip

You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight’s shows, but here are some highlights…

Lauryn Hill @ Brooklyn Bowl
Though Lauryn Hill sometimes has to postpone her shows, she’s still been pretty active lately, and tonight she wraps up her 2-night stand at Brooklyn Bowl which should be packed with favorites from her classic album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and her time in The Fugees too.

Thao With The Get Down Stay Down, Avers @ MHOW
Thao just played a solo show for MoMA Nights, but now she’s got the rest of the band with her for tonight’s MHOW show.

Alvvays @ Rough Trade
Toronto’s Alvvays make wistful, jangly, Brit-tinged indiepop. They were in town not long ago opening for Protomartyr at Seaport Music Fest and tonight they play this free in-store on their own.

Power Trip, Mammoth Grinder, Razorheads @ Saint Vitus
Power Trip more than do justice to thrash metal’s early, raw days, keeping the genre’s hardcore roots intact. Great live band too.

Onyx, Van Blue, Daniel Thomas, Lolow the Don @ The Studio at Webster Hall
Queens hip hop veterans Onyx are still going strong and put out their sixth album, Wakedafucup, earlier this year.

The Kooks, CLARA-NOVA @ Webster Hall
British pop rockers The Kooks will return with their fourth album, Listen, this September. Ahead of that they play two sold out NYC shows, this being the first and then tomorrow at Terminal 5.

Buckwheat Zydeco @ City Winery
Accordionist Stanley “Buckwheat” Dural, Jr. leads the group Buckwheat Zydeco, who have been one of the most acclaimed and successful zydeco groups since the 1970s. Tonight they come to NYC.

Arto Lindsay / Greg Saunier / Ofir Ganon / Greg Fox, Roya, Dear Leader @ Death by Audio
No wave legend Arto Lindsay just played LPR (pics) and tonight he’ll hit a much smaller NYC venue. Not to mention for his set he’ll be joined by an impressive list of collaborators: Deerhof’s Greg Saunier, Speedo’s Ofir Ganon and Liturgy skins master Greg Fox. It’s worth showing up early for Roya (mems Habibi & The Clean) too.

Eric Copeland, DJ Dog Dick, King Conqubine, Fluct, Robot Death Cult, Marley G, Max Alper and Diamond Terrifier, DJ Jackson @ Trans Pecos
Black Dice’s Eric Copeland is on a “small world tour” which means he’s playing a handful of NYC venues this week. The rest of tonight’s lineup is pretty much as out-there as Copeland himself, so things could get strange.

Brooks Wheelan (falls back on stand-up comedy) @ Union Hall
Go console Wheelan on being fired from Saturday Night Live at his standup night tonight. Maybe remind him that Robert Downey Jr. was fired after one season too and he turned out ok. Eventually.

Night Train with the Kondabolu Brothers @ Littlefield
Wyatt Cenac’s weekly Night Train comedy show is being guest hosted by The Kondabolu Brothers tonight. Other guests include Aparna Nancherla, Josh Gondelman, Dwayne Kennedy, Randy Liedtke, Matt Champagne and more.
