Browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight’s shows. Here are some highlights…

Mikal Cronin, The Entrance Band, Nude Beach @ Webster Hall
Having released one of the year’s most acclaimed guitar pop albums (MCII), Mikal Cronin returns to NYC for his biggest show yet. The show’s also got The Entrance Band, Nude Beach and “Special Guests,” and economically priced $15 tickets are still available. This’ll be a good show.

Red Fang, Cancer Bats, The Shrine, Indian Handcrafts @ Bowery Ballroom
This four-band metal tour is more of a heavy riff-rock thing than the kind of music that is often referred to as “metal” these days, but if you’re the kind of person that rocks out to this stuff, this show is unmissable.

Chuck Inglish, Kings Dead, Tayyib Ali @ SOB’s
The Cool Kids aren’t up to much at the moment, but member Chuck Inglish has been having a very busy year, popping up as a guest on multiple tracks and putting out a few of his own releases too, one of the more notable ones being his EP with Ab-Soul and Mac Miller. He’s been out on the road with Kings Dead and Tayyib Ali and tonight they hit NYC.

Reggie Watts @ Irving Plaza
Comedian, musician, loop pedal guru, Comedy Bang! Bang! bandleader — Reggie Watts is one of a kind. Tonight’s show is sold out.

Leif Vollebekk @ Rockwood Music Hall
This underrated Canadian singer-songwriter released his most recent album, North Americana, at the start of this year in Canada (it comes out in the US on 1/28/14) and its folky charms will work especially well at an intimate venue like Rockwood.

The Hairs, The Teen Age, Magneta Lane, Weekender, Bluffing @ Pianos
Toronto trio Magneta Lane headline this all-around solid bill that also includes indiepop bands The Teen Age and The Hairs.

Bridget Everett @ Joe’s Pub
While she’s been previewing her new show “Rock Bottom,” lately, Bridgett Everett’s performance tonight is a “regular” show with her band The Tender Moments (which features Adam “Ad-Rock” Horowitz on bass).

Howth, Caged Animals, Jeffrey Lewis and the Rain @ Union Pool
Tonight is a belated record release show for superior Brooklyn indie pop band Caged Animals’ new album, In the Land of Giants, which came out back in September. Jeffrey Lewis is not to be missed either.

Sebastian Blanck @ The Standard, East Village
Sebastian Blanck was once a member of Black Dice, but now he makes equally experimental music on his own, and you can catch him playing that music tonight.

ShowYouSuck, Caleb James, Freeze-Tag @ Baby’s All Right
ShowYouSuck is one of the more notable up-and-comers in Chicago’s thriving rap scene at the moment. He hasn’t hit Chance the Rapper or Chief Keef status yet, but catch him while he’s still small at Baby’s All RIght tonight.

Big Terrific @ Cameo Gallery
Max Silvestri hosts the free weekly comedy show in the back of Williamsburg’s Lovin’ Cup. No word on who’s playing tonight, but you can check Max’s Twitter.
