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

Liturgy, Child Abuse, Cellular Chaos, Oozing Wound @ Death By Audio
Here’s a really good reason to get to Death by Audio before it closes. It’s the first of two nights that sludgy thrashers Oozing Wound are playing at the venue, and the headliners are one of NYC’s most interesting black metal bands, Liturgy, who are a full band once again.

Mykki Blanco, Cities Aviv, Doss, Gobby (DJ Set), MR UNO (DJ Set), FLUCT Dancers @ Glasslands
Mykki Blanco just put out his new mixtape, Gay Dog Food, and as you might expect from Mykki it’s out-there but it goes hard. Cities Aviv, who’s on one of the tracks, is on this bill too. Stream the mixtape below.

Power 105.1 Powerhouse w/ J. Cole, Ne-Yo, Jeezy, Kid Ink, T.I., Childish Gambino, French Montana, Migos, Tinashe, Bobby Shmurda, Chris Brown, Trey Songz @ Barclays Center
Power 105.1’s Powerhouse goes down at Barclays Center tonight and there’s some pretty impressive names including power tripper J. Cole, trap muzik king T.I. (who just put out the new album, Paperwork), versace lovers Migos, alt-R&B singer Tinashe, the viral Bobby Shmurda and more.

Cypress Hill, La Coka Nostra, Immortal Technique, Vinnie Paz @ Best Buy Theater
Another good hip hop option tonight is the annual Halloween-time Cypress Hill show which is actually one day early this year but it should still get spooky.

Shiba San, Amtrac, Wuki, Nikola Baytala @ Output
This week’s INPUT party at Output is headlined by Shiba San who’s on Claude Vonstroke’s Dirtybird label and makes thumping house that will have you dancing Mischief Night away.

Classixx, Le Youth, Chordashian @ Verboten
Another dance option tonight goes down just down the block from Output at Verboten with LA duo Classixx who are still going strong off last year’s debut album, Hanging Gardens.

Alicia Keys, Nas, David Byrne, Diddy, Angel Haze @ Hammerstein Ballroom
This year’s Keep A Child Alive Black Ball benefit has an eclectic lineup which mostly includes hip hop but also Talking Head David Byrne. KCA co-founder Alicia Keys hosts and also performs herself. Reservations can still be made.

Pianos Become The Teeth, Gates, Frameworks, Vasudeva @ Asbury Lanes
Pianos Become the Teeth stopped screaming on their new album, but they didn’t stop writing intense music — quite the opposite, this is some of their best material yet. NYC was last night and tonight’s the NJ release show. Quality support too.

Celestial Shore, Ava Luna,Palehound, Baked, We Can All Be Sorry @ Baby’s All Right
Celestial Shore deftly mix melody with complex rhythms and arrangements on their new album, Enter Ghost, out soon via Hometapes. Tonight’s the record release party.

The Coathangers, together PANGEA, Cherry Glazerr, Mozes and the Firstborn, AJ Davila y Terror Amor, Wax Witches @ Bowery Ballroom
This is the second edition of Burger Caravan of Stars roadshow, with a whole bunch of their bands playing festival-length sets. Watch as Bowery’s entire downstairs becomes a giant merch area. Some folks go just ’cause it’s Burger. Expect nuttiness.

Dum Dum Girls, Ex Cops, Christines @ Brooklyn Bowl
Dum Dum Girls have always had a flair for the dark side, so them playing on Devil’s Night seems like a no brainer. (Maybe throw in an ’80s goth cover, ladies? The March Violets’ “Snake Dance” perhaps?) Also on the bill: Ex Cop (whose new album takes a turn for the Pop) and the shoegazy Christines.

Sinead O’Connor @ City Winery
The Irish singer released, I’m Not Bossy, I’m the Boss, earlier this year and finishes her three-night run at City Winery this evening.

Del Zeppelin (Delicate Steve), Escalator Haters @ Saint Vitus
Halloween starts early when Delicate Steve let loose crunge-y covers. This show is free.

Wilco @ The Capitol Theatre
Though Jeff Tweedy and his son just released their terrific Tweedy album, the Wilco train rarely stops rolling, and tonight is on the final of its first of three shows at The Cap’. It’s a lovely room, and tickets are still available.

Primus @ The Greene Space
The special day show is billed as “A Very Wonka Afternoon with Primus,” and with an emphasis on the band’s new album that’s based on Roald Dahl’s Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. The show is sold out but is being taped for WNYC’s Soundcheck.

Dean Ween Group @ Stone Pony
Dean Ween (Mickey Melchiondo) has his new ensemble play Asbury Park tonight.

Jerry Lee Lewis @ BB King Blues Club
One of rock n’ roll’s origininators, “Killer” is out with a new album and and biography this week and celebrates both tonight.
