Spring is fighting to emerge. Maybe you are too after a tough winter. If you are looking to bust out, here are a few shows and events this week that should be a good time.
The middle of February can be a pretty slow time, but you wouldn’t know it going by the concert calendar. Plenty of interesting shows are happening all week long. Here are a few you should check out.
Tonight (2/18) – Libel takes the stage at Knitting Factory (361 Metropolitan Ave). This band draws on melodic-yet-jagged 90s post-hardcore and should be cool live. Also on the bill is Grand Resort, who seem to have perfected a mixture of shoegaze, jangle, and new wave that takes you back to the 80s effortlessly. Of course, both bands are still very now, too. Check them out with Kins. Doors at 8:00, show at 8:30, $10 entry. Tickets here.
This week, I’ve been enjoying the forthcoming EP from Isle of Rhodes: Affirmation Caravan. The band will play a release show at Spike Hill 2/8. Also, I have a few other shows you might want to check out.
It’s always impressive when you discover what you thought had to have been the work of at least three, if not four or five, individuals is actually the work of a duo. Isle of Rhodes is the most recent band to provide me with this pleasant surprise.
