We’re in the midst of a heatwave in New York. That also applies to the gigs this week in Bushwick. They’re hot!!!! Here are some good ones to check out:
Wednesday, July 24
Henry Something, eCOCOBOYS, Pleasure Island, Golden West Service at Alphaville, 8 p.m.
Local lo-fi bedroom pop act Henry Something will headline a diverse lineup that also features both heavy and soft sounding acts. The fiery garage rock sounds of quartet eCOCOBOYS are counterbalanced by the lounge inspired surf grooves of Pleasure Island, an act that you’ll dig if you’re into the recent output of Dent May and Part Time. Openers Golden West Service will provide a dose of classic sounding indie rock to get things started.
Thursday, July 25
Future Punx, Seedy Films, Timo Lee at The Sultan Room at The Turk’s Inn, 9 p.m.
