Say goodbye to stuffing your winter coat, scarf, and gloves in some corner at a show- Spring finally graced us with her presence. Hopefully you were outside at some point, catching some sun, wearing (tastefully) very little. To mimic the weather, we’ve picked out some awesome music shows that are happening in Bushwick, Greenpoint and Williamsburg this weekend. Be prepared to get crazy like Ron Swanson above- you deserve it after a long, cold winter!

6. Sharkmuffin, Lunchbox @ Public Assembly (Thursday, 8 pm, $20)
6. Sharkmuffin and Lunchbox join forces to play at Public Assembly this Thursday. Despite the heavy guitars and forceful drums, these bands both bring to the table, there’s an aire of cuteness to this show. It’s probably the fact that Tarra Thiessen (frontwoman of Sharkmuffin) and Matt Kramer (frontman of Lunchbox) are dating. Both bands encompass the loud, heartfelt meaning of punk.
5. 1000 Band Names BOOK RELEASE Advaeta, SoftSpot, Hello Shark, Baked, Matt Sullivan @The Ho_se (Thursday 8pm, $5)
Four awesome bands come together to play under one roof, The Ho_se, for Jordan Michael’s Book Release, 1000 Band Names. What had initially started as a memory book, turned into an extensive list of bands. A unique concept along with great music, this will be a cool show.
