The Best Shows in NYC This Weekend!

January 28, 2016

Written by Patrick McNamara

Welcome to this really great Internet article!

Recommended read if you like learning about good shows happening in NYC this week and/or you like The Internet and/or its websites.

Here we go!

Thursday - January 28, 2016 A.D.

Good Room has a fundraiser rager tonight for Bernie Sanders featuring a bunch of peeps like Nancy Whang (The Juan Maclean/LCD Soundsystem), Sinkane and lots more. Go if you support Sanders or just want to DANCE.

If you prefer solidly melodic synth pop might I be so bold as to suggest you go see Wet either at Bowery Ballroom or tomorrow at Rough Trade? They recently toured with CHVRCHES if this helps you make the very best decision for you and your musical needs tonight.

Good Gainesville scuzz punks Soda play Alphaville (with Pill and friends). Please enjoy blasting this song from the band's brand new album on Dull Tools (co-run by a Parquet Court and a Future Punk) and if you like it (spoiler: you will) consider going to see them play it for you in the flesh. Keep it fresh.

Other notable Thursday shows = Skaters at Baby's All Right + Young Galaxy at (le) poisson rouge + Baked at Palisades + Walter Martin of The Walkmen at Union Pool

Pictureplane plays Trans-Pecos. Come! Let's dance! Also on this bill….. announcing (!) the triumphant return (!!) of DJ Dog Dick. That's DJ Dog Dick, ladies and gentlemen. DJ…. Dog….. Dick.

Surf Rock is Dead open for The High Highs at Union Pool. File Under: A Good Band. If you like jingle and/or jangle please consider streaming this dope song right…………….. NOW.

Other notable Friday shows = Flying Lotus at Music Hall of Williamsburg + St. Lucia at Baby's All Right + Mothers at Palisades + Kal Marks at Aviv + Wet at Rough Trade + Man Forever at The Greene Space

Saturday - January 30, 2016 A.D.

If you like the punk rock…. there's a good one at Palisades tonight led by Flagland and Two Inch Astronaut and Cheap Dinosaurs and Infinity Girl and Stove and we're all winners here.

If you like the big time synth pop…. NYC's own St. Lucia plays Webster Hall (after playing Baby's the night before). They grow up so fast! Please enjoy this delightful song below. At first I thought the drummer was Chicago Bulls star, Pau Gasol. Crazy, I know, but for a second I thought maybe it was similar to John Stamos playing drums for The Beach Boys on "Kokomo" or something. But upon further research I discovered that it's not….. the drummer of St. Lucia is not Pau Gasol…. he's helluva ballplayer, though…. I'm talking about Pau Gasol here…. not the drummer... although I've never seen his skills on the hardwood maybe he's super good too…. at basketball, that is….. and drumming too…. thanks for listening.

Other notable Saturday shows = Chomp at Aviv + Givers at Bowery Ballroom + So So Glos at McCarren Hotel + Pool + Teen Commandments at Rough Trade

Sunday - January 31, 2016 A.D.

Maybe just stay in and stream something from your couch and enjoy making it through the month of January.

Baby steps, yo. Magnets, yo.

Other Sunday shows = if you must go out because you don't own a couch consider supporting 826NYC and go to their fundraiser at The Bell House with Chris Gethard and a bunch more solid comics it wouldn't be the wrong move by any means.
