If you don't want pop (or at least not happy pop)...

Bell, Holy Hail @ The Bell House (Park Slope, Brooklyn) / $8
If you want New York's latest in weird, dark, experimental music, this show is for you. Two bands with an electronic edge, one with an uncanny resemblence to Bjork.

Three of my favorite bands, one of my favorite venues. All edgy, shoegaze-inspired noisy pop bands. Go to this show!

Quasi with Marnie Stern, Crystal Stilts @ Knitting Factory / $20
This sounds too good to be true. An all-time indie rock great hosting two of the year's finest indie acts? Please check with the bands/venue and make sure I didn't just dream this.
