This August, Alt-J visited New York City for only the second time in their young careers, and played sold out shows at both Mercury Lounge and Glasslands. And now, just one month later, they’re back and already sold out Bowery Ballroom (but seriously, these guys are blowing up — they’ve shot up to 70,000 Facebook “likes” in under a year). Don’t get too upset that tickets aren’t available though; you can always do some searching on Craigslist! If that show doesn’t work out for you, there are plenty of other amazing bands in town – Yeasayer, Wild Belle, Lianne La Havas, Body Language, Islands, and WHY?, to name a few. Enjoy another amazing week of music in the best city in the world.
Thanks for checking out our suggested New York City indie concerts list! I won’t list everything that’s going on — just a short collection of great shows (maybe I got a little carried away this week) happening in our city that you shouldn’t miss this week. To make it as easy for you as possible, you can listen to all the bands and sometimes get some free MP3s!
