So, it’s V-Day weekend. Maybe you want to find a really fun and awesome show to go to this weekend to celebrate with that special someone. Maybe you don’t give a shit and just want to see some sweet music and hang out. Perhaps it will involve thoughtful folk songs or some hip buzz bands rocking out at a DIY venue. Who cares if you go with a lover, a friend or solo? This is the weekend for you to treat the person you love with some awesome music, and if that person is yourself, well, then you’ve got extra money for a lotta beer at the shows.
#10 Bueno “Little Joe” Release w/ Free Time (feat. Richard Davies), Baked & Zula @ Shea Stadium (SAT 8PM, $8)
Head over to Shea Stadium Saturday night for some washed out vocals, distortedy guitar sounds. This is Bueno‘s “Little Joe” release, so get down with their creative use of horns and moody bass lines. Each of these bands adds a special something to the show, and it’s all pretty perfect music to sway awkwardly to until you accidentally bump into the cutie you’ve been making eyes at all night, if you want.
#9 Team Spirit, The Liza Colby Sound, Hard Nips, Blue and Gold, Lowell @ Brooklyn Night Bazaar (FRI 6PM, FREE)
Brooklyn Night Bazaar is killing it with their free shows every weekend. From Team Spirit (Vice Records) to Hard Nips, this show will definitely not disappoint. Also an awesome place to fall in love, while listening to Hard Nips cover Iggy Pop’s “I wanna be your dog,” nibbling on an arancini, battling the crowds of pushy underage fans, perhaps your hand will accidentally graze that of another’s as you reach for the unicorn pooping a rainbow case for sale from an artisanal iphone handler. This could be true love. Or maybe you’ll just dance your ass off and flip all the couples the bird. Either one is fine, but there may be children present.
