TENNIS, BODY LANGUAGE, STEPDAD

There are many times when it’s wonderful to live in New York City, yet few times are quite as amazing as these next fews weeks, a time when tons and tons of amazing bands come through town before they make their way down to Austin, Texas for SXSW.  It does make sense, what better way to build up some hype before the year’s most important music festival/conference than playing shows in New York City?  With Tennis, Body Language, School of Seven Bells, Stepdad, Craig Finn, Bombay Bicycle Club, Fort Lean, ARMS, Widowspeak, and (breath) Bachelorette all playing this week, who will you spend your nights with?

As always, thanks for checking out our suggested New York City indie concerts list!  We won’t list everything that’s going on — just a short collection of great shows happening in our city that you shouldn’t miss this week (this Saturday there’s so many great shows I sort of got carried away).  And to make it as easy for you as possible, you can listen to all the bands and sometimes get some free MP3s!
