Crystal Castles headline Roseland tonight with support from HEALTH. Congrats to all who won tickets, and sorry to those who were hoping to catch the bands at the Capitol Theatre tomorrow because that show has been cancelled.

Caveman are performing at Ace Hotel this afternoon as part of their “5at5” which means five songs at 5 PM. It’s free.

Tonight is the star-studded “Love for Leon” Levon Helm tribute / benefit at the Izod Center featuring Roger Waters, Gregg Allman, John Mayer, My Morning Jacket, John Prine, Warren Hayes, Garth Hudson, Grace Potter and many more. Net proceeds help support “the lasting legacy of Levon Helm by helping his estate keep ownership of his home, barn and studio, and to continue The Midnight Ramble Sessions.”

You get two Phillips’s tonight at City Winery, with ’90s alt rocker / ’00s Gillmore Girls troubadour (and all-around good guy) Grant Lee Phillips plus onetime Toad the Wet Sprocket frontman Glen Phillips. Tickets are still available.

Florida’s gothy Cold Showers, who were pretty good opening for The Soft Moon recently, are back in town, playing WIERD at Home Sweet Home tonight. If you can’t make the show tonight (which will be a late one), you can catch them again tomorrow (10/4) at 285 Kent opening for Weekend.
