King Krule at Glasslands in 2011 (more by Erik Erikson)
Phantogram @ Bonnaroo 2012 (more by Dana [distortion] Yavin)
Browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight’s shows. Here are some highlights…
King Krule @ Webster Hall
Archie Marshall is an old soul trapped in a minor’s body, a dichotomy made apparent on his terrific debut album, Six Feet Beneath the Moon, which mixes thoughtful songwriting with modern productions touches. Tonight’s sold out.
Ida Maria @ Rough Trade
Norwegian singer-songwriter Ida Maria, once known for her wildcard electric performances, returns for her first NYC shows in some time. Will “Oh My God” still have the same punch?
Foley, The Dirty Nil, Shy Hunters, Tyburn Saints @ Glasslands
Tonight’s finally the NYC debut of Canada punk rippers The Dirty Nil, who were supposed to play here in October but had to cancel at the last minute. If you like your punk quick and dirty, check this band out.
Phantogram, Until The Ribbon Breaks, Weeknight @ Terminal 5
While fans wait for Phantogram’s new album, they can hear a few new songs — like “Lights” from the Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack — tonight at Terminal 5.
Sean Nicholas Savage, Zula, Regal Degal, Softspot @ Death By Audio
Prolific and a little eccentric, Montreal artist Sean Nicholas Savage mixes genres with abandon, as heard most recently on this year’s Other Life, which came out on Arbutus Records (home of Grimes, Doldrums and more).
Dapwell from Das Racist (DJ set), The Kominas, Gandu Cirus, Ashni, Cerenkov, Gabe Merizalde @ Pianos
This is an afterparty for the South Asian Film Festival which is going on in NYC this week. Massachusetts band The Kominas headline, followed by a DJ set from onetime Das Racist member, Dapwell.
GOASTT (Ghost of a Sabre Tooth Tiger), Aaron Roche @ Union Pool
If anyone has a right to ape the psych-pop sounds of The Beatles it’s Sean Lennon who does just that with his band Ghost of a Sabre Tooth Tiger who are now just going by the acronym GOASTT.
Elton John @ Madison Square Garden
With close to fifty years of pop/rock songwriting and a new album out this year that at least Rolling Stone likes, Elton John takes over MSG for what will surely be a night of hits.
Nothing Changes w/ Mueran Humanos, Reverso @ Home Sweet Home
South American synth-goths Mueran Humanos headline this week’s edition of the popular late-night darkwave party.
O’Death, The Woes @ Brooklyn Bowl
Brooklyn’s O’Death have been kicking for quite a while now, making their dark brand of gothic alt-country.
Occultation, Survival, Yautja, Razorheads @ Acheron
Occultation, the spooky rock/metal band featuring the guitarist of weirdo black metal act Negative Plane, kick off a week-long tour with a BK appearance alongside up-and-coming Nashville grinders Yautja and locals Razorheads and Survival (not the Liturgy side project).” Or something.
Big Terrific @ Cameo Gallery
Max Silvestri hosts the free weekly comedy show in the back of Williamsburg’s Lovin’ Cup. Tonight’s line-up features Ali Wong, Andy Haynes, Phoebe Robinson, Chris Tellez, and Joe DeRosa.
Melissa Laveaux, Stranger Cat @ Cameo
Paris-via-Ottawa singer Melissa Laveaux comes to NYC to headline this show, and there’s pretty great local support from Cat Martino’s new electronic project Stranger Cat.
