What's going on Saturday?
You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight’s shows, but here are some highlights…
Marching Church, Bernardino Femminielli @ Sunnyvale
Marching Church is the project of Iceage singer Elias Bender Rønnenfeldt, whose new album Telling it Like It Is has a pleasingly Nick Cave-esque late night swagger to it. If you’re going tonight, be sure to catch Montreal’s eccentric (disturbing?) Bernardino Femminielli.
Wyclef Jean, Kassav, The Janes Life @ Terminal 5
Wyclef Jean‘s new EP, J’Ouvert, was just released and celebrates that — and the 20th anniversary ofThe Carnival— at this show.

Dan Deacon‘s “The USA” suite from his 2012 album America is going to be used by the New York City Ballet as part of their “New Combinations” program they’ll perform seven times this season. As choreographed by the acclaimed Justin Peck, the performance will have “his dancers trading their pointe shoes in for sneakers.”

NYC post punk vets celebrate their 37th anniversary tonight with Brooklyn’s long-running indie rock band Babe the Blue Ox.

Olof Arnalds, Cold Weather Company @ Mercury Lounge
Icelandic singer Olof Arnalds last released the gorgeous album Palme (which she made with longtime collaborator Skúli Sverrisson and múm’s Gunnar Örn Tynes) in 2014. No word on a followup yet, but she’s back in NYC tonight.

He leads the band DRGN KING, he’s one half of Lithuania (with Eric Slick of Dr. Dog), he’s currently playing bass in mewithoutYou, and he’s also played in Hop Along, among other projects. He’s also an in-demand session musician who played keys on Kendrick Lamar’s untitled unmastered. He just released his solo album Goodnight Doggies under the name Dominic, and he celebrates that tonight.
Weeknight, Boot Blacks @ ALPHAVILLE
