What's going on Saturday? (Lauryn Hill, Grant Hart, Tiger Flowers, Buke and Gase, Bent Shapes, A-Trak & more)
Grant Hart
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight’s shows, but here are some highlights…
Grant Hart, Forever House, Tinmouth, Funcrusher @ Cake Shop
Grant Hart may be not as popular as his former Husker Du bandmate Bob Mould, but he’s got an active solo career as well, which included the release of 2013’s very well-received The Argument. Tonight, Grant and The Anagram Ensemble share an evening to celebrate the release of James Ilgenfritz’s opera The Ticket That Exploded on Grant’s Con D’Or record label.
Buke and Gase, Zs, Marley G, Fossil @ Aviv
Buke & Gase make their own instruments, and get pretty eccentric sounds out of them, too. They headline this bill of avant/experimental acts.
A-Trak @ Marquee
Producer and co-founder of Fool’s Gold Records, A-Trak plays tonight at this West Side bottle service type megaclub.
Lauryn Hill @ Madiba Harlem
Back in action, onetime Fugee and R&B great on her own Lauryn Hill’s currently in the midst of a nine-show NYC run as part of an intimate acoustic tour
Denitia and Sene, The Funk Art, Mamarazzi, Unity @ Brooklyn Night Bazaar
Brooklyn Night Bazaar puts local crafts, microbrews, food-truck type eats, mini golf, ping pong, and live music all under one Greenpoint roof. Tonight’s music is headlined by Brooklyn dance duo Denitia and Sene.
Ethel, Kaki King, John King @ Merkin Concert Hall
Part of the Ecstatic Music Festival, this performance combines the forces of string quartet ETHEL, guitarist Kaki King; and composer/guitarist/violist John King.
Child Abuse, Microwaves, bbigpigg, Radio Shock @ Muchmores
Do you like noise? This should be a good show for you, with Child Abuse and bbigpigg both creating an intense din.
Ellen Allien, DJ QU, Lauren Ritter @ Output
German DJ/producer Ellen Allien is a multihyphenate, running the influential BPitch Control label, carving out a niche in t-shirt design, and maker of cutting edge dance music. She’s stopping in NYC for this gig before heading to Miami’s Winter Music Conference next weekend.
Tim Sweeney, Tom Noble, Palmbomen (II), Larry Gus, Abu Ashley @ Palisades
Beats in Space host, onetime DFA cohort and general ’00s-era party guru Tim Sweeney headlines this show that also features a live performance from DFA-signed Italian producer Larry Gus and more.
Tiger Flowers, So Hideous, Cyperna, Godmaker, Mary Todd
NYC metalcore band Tiger Flowers are a cocktail of furious hardcore interjected with chaotic blasts of screaming feedback, time changes, doomy-riffs that are, most importantly, delivered with tons of live energy.
Bent Shapes, Kindling, Night Powers, Decorum @ The Gutter
Boston’s Bent Shapes who make jangly indie pop…but with real bite. Good live, too. They headline this bill put together by the nice folks at Gimme Tinitus and Mirror Universe Tapes.
Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction w/ Jared Logan, Dave Hill, Ashley Brooke Roberts, Max Silvestri, Eli Sairs, Kara Klenk, Mehran Khag @ Union Hall
This is a live taping of Nerdist podcast “Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction” where comedians read pieces they wrote based on audience suggestions
Cashmere Cat @ Webster Hall
Kanye collaborator Cashmere Cat (who co-produced Ye’s new single “Wolves” that he just debuted at his fashion show and then performed on SNL 40) is currently on tour with Ariana Grande but plays this headlining show tonight.
