Things are finally picking up here in New York City as the indie music world waiting until Valentine’s Day week to start pulling all the punches. For the second straight week, you can join us for a “The Wild Honey Pie Presents” gig, this time over in Brooklyn at Park Slope’s Union Hall where we’ll be celebrating a special occasion on Saturday night. What is this special occasion you ask? You Won’t is celebrating the release of their debut record, Skeptic Goodbye, and ringing it in with the gorgeous ladies of Lucius, future-diva Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, and Julia Read.
The rest of the week is filled with goodies as Pearl and the Beard is headlining Music Hall of Williamsburg with support from North Highlands and Lacrymosa on Thursday night, High Highs, Ski Lodge, and Phone Tag at Pianos on Wednesday, and Other Lives at Bowery Ballroom on Friday.
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!
