The majority of us are down in Austin, Texas for SXSW, but the world doesn’t stop turning just because us and a major chunk of the music industry are down South. There are quite a few note-worthy shows, mainly on the larger end of things size-wise, back in New York this week. How will you distract yourself from the fact that you’re not in Austin? Sorry, I’m being cruel.
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 (this Saturday there’s so many great shows I sort of got carried away). And to make it as easy for you as possible, you can listen to all the bands and sometimes get some free MP3s!
