Turn up the lights in here, baby, extra bright y’all need to read this… we’re back, post-SXSW hangover (or even more severe lack-of-SXSW-hangover) and back in the swing of things! Bands have returned, recovered, and are ready to blow us away all over again. Here are 10 shows to not miss this weekend:

#10 Night Birds, No Problem, Sonic Poison, Nuclear Santa Claust @ The Acheron, 57 Waterbury St, E. Williamsburg (SUN 8PM, $10)

Get your hard(er) core Sunday night on at The Acheron, where “thoroughly modern morons” Night Birds play a benefit show.
