It’s quite the shame that the day a blizzard decides to hit New York City is one that contains some of the best bills of this season. But that’s life. I urge all of you to get out your knee-length galoshes, bundle in layers of five, and head down to either:
A) Southpaw, B) Bowery Ballroom, C) Mercury Lounge, D) The Delancey, or E) Don Hills. All of these venues have amazing bills, and all are spaced in a way to geographically cover the bases, so to speak. Even Brooklyn’s represented tonight. So if you care to hear intelligent and blistering rock (MAN IN GRAY), pounding punk and screeching vocals (THE FEVER), trippy pop/rock (THE KING OF FRANCE), or bouncing New Wave pop (THE AFFAIR), the City has you taken care of. And if none of these please you enough to get you hopping in galoshes through the snow, THE EVERYOTHERS are playing tonight as well. Still eager to stay inside and sip cocoa? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Get out and rock tonight, true New Yorkers don’t shut down for a little precipitation.
