Wipe your glasses clean of that foggy rain, slip on a raincoat, grab a friend and carve your way to these shows this weekend. Nothing can hold you back, especially not a summer drizzle. To inspire your sense of adventure, we are highlighting the top six music shows this weekend a diligently narrowed down list of the must sees- including free shows, punk rock, a show in a temple, Brisk Iced Tea and more!

6. The Fire Tapes, Met City, New Ponies, Miwa Gemini @ The Living Room (Friday 7 PM, $?)

So, heading to the Lower East Side on a misty Friday might not seem like the most appealing option. But, if you’ve got a first date (or you’ve got a go-to gal/guy that you may or not be “dating”) we can recommend a romantic show that will leave you damp (from the rain) but also feeling awfully touchy after hearing some really beautifully crafted pop rock from Brooklyn-via-Portland’s Met City. Check the bandcamp above!
