LMB NYC: This Week’s Concert Calendar

Summer in NYC is now in full swing and we’ve got a busy week of local shows already upon us. I’m getting stoked for two shows this weekend, which should both be stellar. Friday night I’ll be heading out on the Hudson to join on “the Big F-ing Boat” (aka the Rocks Off Concert Cruise). Saturday is all about catching rock out at the Bowery Ballroom, which is why I posted the video above from one of their Austin shows in march. I’m really digging their new album D and can’t wait to see them bring their dual-guitar madness to the Bowery this weekend.

Also, we just got word that will be doing a free, “secret show” at LPR tonight at midnight…which is pretty rad if you can pull off the late-night midweek show. Read on for shows we recommend this week…
