You’d be hard pressed to find a week so far this year during which so many amazing bands have all been in town. With Beach House, Kishi Bashi, Wilco, Grimes, Oberhofer, Frank Ocean, King Khan & The Shrines, Caveman, Givers, Gary Clark Jr., and the Catalpa music festival (The Black Keys, Snoog Dogg, TV on the Radio, and more) all competing for our time and money, you better make a decision fast because these shows are selling out fast. Enjoy your week!
As always, 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 happening in our city that you shouldn’t miss this week (ok, this week I went a bit overboard). To make it as easy for you as possible, you can listen to all the bands and sometimes get some free MP3s!
