This week is going to be a doozie! Though the past few weeks have also been filled with memorable shows, it’s been a while since I’ve seen quite this many of my favorite bands in town all at once. Bon Iver (playing 4 nights at Radio City Music Hall), Wye Oak, Field Mouse, Oberhofer, Efterklang, Dr. Dog (with Kishi Bashi), Austra, The Echo Friendly, the list just goes on and on. Even more, this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, there’s a second-to-none collection of artists playing the I’ll Be Your Mirror festival, curated by All Tomorrows Parties and Greg Dulli. Check out the best of the best below, and for heaven’s sake, get out and see some music. And enjoy this amazing fall weather too.
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 (like I mentioned above, there are a TON of great shows this week so the collection is a bit larger than usual) 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!
