Well, it’s only Thursday, but with all these Thursday night options it feels like a Friday. Let’s not beat around the Laura Bush, check out these killer shows and parties:
1. The Giraffes @ Luna Lounge: This is the NYC trash rockers first show since they were struck with a bit of a health battle. By a bit I mean their lead singer had a heart attack. This isn’t going to stop him from spitting beer on the crowd. His return to the stage will be epic. Did I mention it’s FREE and early (7:30pm)?
2. RANA @ Tribeca Rock Club: Their three week residency at the downtown club culminates this week with its final installment featuring an opening set from DJ Logic. There are also rumors floating around (read: Ramie comments) that Logic may grace the stage with Brooklyn via NJ foursome. If you aren’t at this show, Tumblehawk might cry.
3. A Place to Bury Strangers w/ PS @ The Mercury Lounge: Ok, so this is a show where I’ve definitely faltered. Neither of these bands have been seen by my own eyes, and tonight won’t rectify that problem. I’ll be at RANA for most of the night which means they will once again be missed, but you shouldn’t fall prey to my insolence. Get to the club and support local rock.
4. Low w/ Pedro the Lion @ Bowery: Low's new one, The Great Destroyer, is a sizable leap for them -- having spent 10 years defining themselves by standing next to loudness with their backs turned, they've done a jackknife dive into it, and the splash is glorious. Pedro the Lion share their fondness for slow-throbbing grandeur and Christian subtexts, although songwriter David Bazan's more concerned with lyrics as storytelling. (Thank you Village Voice).
5. Happy Birthday to Ultragrrrl @ Happy Ending: Go wish Sarah a happy 25th as she spins all the industrial emo you can handle. Expect tons of freakishly dressed hipsters as its part of the party VISIONS OF THE IMPENDING APOCAPLYPSE. Also expect a shitshow because Carlos D is scheduled to DJ.
6. Atomique @ Eleven: You went last week. You loved it. Keep things rolling tonight as Melody Nelson welcomes Gerald (Other Music) as guest DJ. Get there early for give aways, but stay late for the Blue Light Special and all the cigarettes you can hand.

Just to set the record straight. I am not at all into Logic nor a Logic sit in.

I'll also be at Merc early for Astronaut (or something like that) then heading to Merc.
