Dirty Projectors are in New York celebrating the release of their new LP, Swing Lo Magellan, with two New York City shows: one at Music Hall of Williamsburg and one at the Prospect Park Bandshell.  If you don’t make it out to one of those, you’ll be making a mighty huge mistake.  Other highlights this week include shows by Future Islands, Lucius, WidowspeakDusted, and the free 4Knots Festival featuring The Drums, CrocodilesHospitality, and more.

Last week, I vented a bit about that fact that our fine city is being bombarded with music festivals and that the majority of them don’t deserve that label.  Well, I’ve decided to start a counter of the number of “festivals” that are going down this summer concert season here in the city.  It might be off by a couple, but it’s close!

New York City 2012 “festival” counter: 9 (last week: 5)

Thanks for checking out our suggested New York City indie concerts list!  We 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.  And to make it as easy for you as possible, you can listen to all the bands and sometimes get some free MP3s!
