Mira Stroika, Hot Lava, Wintersleep & more tonight
Definitely let yourself be seduced by cabaret temptress Mira Stroika, or at the very least, let yourself be transported into a sultry past with her superbly nostalgic style. She is playing at at Rehab with Fresh Air Kids before heading out for a little travel.
Going by “Apple Option Fire”, Hot Lava sounds like a fun band, playing at Cake Shop with Hologram, Yellow Fever, and US Girls // Another wide variety of selections at Death by Audio, including some electronica pop from Antn Hrkwk and americana rock from Great Lakes, joining Artranker Convoy, Hyena, and Hot Cha Cha.
Nobody I know likes Terminal 5, which is a shame because Wintersleep is worth checking out; playing with Wolf Parade // I’d see The War on Drugs, too; playing with Lia Ices, Flowers at Union Pool // I have been stumble-bummed before, outside Ear Inn, and for a less accidental viewing of the Stumblebum Brass Band, head to Mercury Lounge; playing with Creaky Boards, which is the same band whose song has been stolen (or not) by Coldplay’s famous new single. They will be joined by The Bosch, The Canon Logic, and Zerobridge // We Are Scientists and Oxford Collapse at Bowery Ballroom // Old 97’s, Sleepercar at Webster Hall.
The Faintest Ideas at Don Hill’s // Brother Ali at South Street Seaport (free!) // Rx Bandits, Portugal the Man, Maps and Atlases at Highline Ballroom // In Cadeo (get the EP for free), PoPo, Beluga at Grasslands // Metronomy at Union Hall // Listen to Vivian Girls’ new single; they’re playing with Crystal Stilts, Woods, The Beets at Silent Barn // Peter Bjorn and John’s Bjorn for free (with RSVP) at Le Royale.
