Death by Audio: As you’ll see in the picture after the jump, Brooklyn’s City Center makes music with percussion and lots of cables. Says one-man-band Fred, “It sounds like rattle rattle rattle sparrkkkkk wheeeerrrrrr,” which of course sounds kind of fabulous. He’s playing with old friend Hawnay Troof, who he insists is the one of the “party starters of our generation”, and whose record release is the occasion for the party tonight.

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.
