There’s a ton of great shows in NYC this week, creating an interesting dilemma for those that need to select just one or two. The Drums, fun., Young Man, Lucius, ARMS, Kurt Vile & the Violators, and Cloud Nothings are all playing our fine city, but it’s still our 2nd B-Day Bash that I’m most excited for. Featuring Rubik, Ambassadors, Yellowbirds, E-603, and For a Minor Reflection, Manhattan venue Pianos will filled to the brim so come early and stay late. If you see me, come say hi and I’ll buy you a drink.
