Virgin Megastore: You don’t get much love on Tuesdays, so work that butt; see Ra Ra Riots for free at Virgin Megastore, Union Square, but first beat the pack flocking there to get a wristband by purchasing The Rhumb Line, which came out today. The performance is at the store’s cafe at 7PM, and of course space is limited so you must get there early.

The Tank: But never fear, Todd P will show you love; Best Friends Forever, Acht(en), Screaming Females and Puttin’ On The Ritz look promising. (On a side note, I recently found out from all the furrowing and scouring my friend Enid Crow does in the neighborhood that there are secret house shows happening right here in Crown Heights! And not that part of Crown Heights that real estate people like to call Prospect Heights. This secret spot is east of New York Avenue, so it’s 100% CH. New Jersey’s Screaming Females are also playing there on September 26th)

More bands and all songs after the jump.
