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

Walter Martin (of The Walkmen) @ Union Pool
Walter Martin’s new album is a concept record about art history — at least partially, as a theme that ties together his musings on life, love and other things. Tonight’s the record release show.

Soda, Pill, B Boys, Kaleidoscope @ Alphaville
Gainesville, FL trio Soda make scuzzy punk with a dark, forboding, slightly melted tint. Their new EP is out now via Dull Tools (the label run by Parquet Courts’ Andrew Savage). This is their second Brooklyn show with local trio B Boys (who sound a little like Wire).

Young Galaxy, Julietta, Heartcopy @ Le Poisson Rouge
Montreal’s widescreen synthpop act Young Galaxy released their fifth album, Falsework, back in November, it’s maybe their most impressive work yet: sleek, ethereal and danceable.

Bernie Sanders Fundraiser w/ Nancy Whang (The Juan Maclean/LCD Soundsystem), Sinkane, James Friedman, Rissa Garcia, Lily Ray, Mike Terra, Dave Turk, Zachary Allan Starkey, Connie & more @ Good Room
Dance the night away and help raise money for Bernie Sanders presidential campaign at the “Berning Down The House” party featuring a load of great DJ talent.

Buster Pointdexter @ Cafe Carlyle
New York Doll singer David Johansen puts back on the tux and his party-friendly Buster Poindexter persona for a night of saucy cabaret at this fancypants supper club.

Wet, Kelsey Lu @ Bowery Ballroom
If you’re going to this sold-out show, do get there in time to see Kelsey Lu, who makes beguiling music with just her voice, a cello and a loop pedal.
