This Week In Shows
THIS WEEK IN SHOWS
WEDS. OCT 7
Golden City, The Fear and the Trembling, The Twees, Lyrycyst
Public Assembly
8:00 PM, $10, 21+
On Wednesday, embrace your hedonism while simultaneously easing your conscience. All proceeds of this GIMMESOUND.COM GiveBack Live Music Series go to The Food Bank For New York City. The bands are really good too! So if you’re on the fence about going to a mid-week show, remember that you can be doing some good just by rocking out.
THURS, OCT. 8
Vandelles, Sleigh Bells, Telltale, Young Boys
Public Assembly
9:00 PM, $8, 21+
Dude! It’s the JezebelMusic.com Feature Show! Honestly, I would list this no matter what, but I’m really excited about this show. We’ve got The Vandelles with their noisy surf – “fifties spy music,” is how their drummer Suzanne explains it; Sleigh Bells with their fun, repetitive beats that go straight to your backbone, Young Boys’ pop songs cloaked in feedback and leather jackets, and floating, dark shoegaze from Telltale. It’ll be an interesting mix of bands who aren’t so easy to define. (Though I just tried to.) You can find us editors shaking it in the front row.
