Union Hall: The perky gang of Port O’Brien will be dispersing their share of Californian sunshine with Loxsly, who has managed to emerge unscathed from the saturated music scene of Austin, Texas, which I imagine looks like a big ball of fire. It has to. Headliners are Bodies of Water.

McCarren Pool: I haven’t been to a Regina Spektor show that didn’t deliver, though the days when she played without a mediocre band are greatly missed. Just Regina on the piano was gold. Albert Hammond, Jr. is opening // South Street Sea Port: Catch Brooklyn’s Dirty Projectors for free, playing with White Williams.

Continued after the jump.

Cake Shop: We’ve yet to see what kinds of flames are flickering in Sunnyside, Queens, but this lovable hood is represented by Brilliant Sweaters tonight. Download NYC Taper’s recording of their Galapagos show they played in June. They are joined by  Abducteens, Ex Humans and Midnite Till Death 

Mercury Lounge: New York’s Hymns recorded We Move in Herds (lovely title) in a spacious Texan ranch, and they’ve made sure that fact has translated in their good old rock & roll sound (no, it doesn’t feature samples of cows mooing). Loud Est Boom Bah Yea make “pop music for two drums” and settled with that band name for the inherent rhythm in it. Hats off to that. They’re playing with  + / – {PLUS/MINUS} and Bridges & Powerlines.

Union Pool: Brooklyn’s rhythmic trio Zero Spanish playing with Goes Cube and Villa Vina // Silent Barn: Fiasco, Future Island, EAR PWR, Digital Leather // Pianos: Heroes & Villains, Padre Pio, Bunnies // Music Hall of Williamsburg: Longwave // Southpaw: Dirty Excuse, Karyn Kuhl, GSX.

Monkeytown: Straight from the website, “Colorlist is an ongoing music process between saxophonist Charles Gorczynski and drummer Charles Rumback, exploring the careful use of electronics and new types of intuitive improvisation. Veering towards ambiant electronics as much as chicago’s improvised style, colorlist focuses on the sonic experience during performance.”
