Yellow Ostrich @ Pianos earlier this year (more by David Andrako)
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight’s shows, but here are some highlights…
Yellow Ostrich, Tei Shi, Norwegian Arms, Belle Mare @ Glasslands
Not only is this Yellow Ostrich’s last show at Glasslands, which is closes at the end of the month, but their last show ever. The band are splitting amicably and frontman Alex Schaaf is already working on a new project. Catch them one last time, with opener Tei Shi and others.
Swet Shop Boys, Wiki (of RatKing) @ Baby’s All Right
Former Das Racist member Heems teamed up with British rapper/actor Riz MC (aka Riz Ahmed) and the duo released their Swet Shop EP on Heems’ Greedhead label earlier this year. It’s got production from Lushline, Lynas, Ryan Hemsworth and DADRAS, and it’s more proof that Heems has pretty much been on fire this year.
Mirah @ a living room in Ditmas Park
Mirah has been busy this year, releasing a new album and going on multiple tours. This current one’s a little different, she’s playing in fan’s living rooms. Where, exactly, the Ditmas Park show will be is a secret — till you buy a ticket.
Angel Olsen, Lionlimb @ Bowery Ballroom
Angel Olsen’s varied 2014 album goes from somber folk to upbeat indie rock and it’s rightfully been appearing on a bunch of year-end lists already. Tonight she plays the second of her three NYC shows on this tour.
