New York City-area magic

Yeah, those and Thee Sacred Souls and Fishbone for me. I saw Black Belt Eagle Scout open for Sleater Kinney recently and they were awesome!!!

Whatever the Arthur Russell thing is, it’s probably a can’t miss event.

Me too (I mean I know Fishbone but not interested)  I RSVP'd for Watchhouse/Black Belt as that seems up my alley, but will need to listen first.  May check out the dance performance the night before instead.  Looks like their promoter deal (Bowery?) must have lapsed given the lack of benefit shows and the bookings.

Childish Gambino at Barclays August 26 & 27.

For free, too. 

Nilüfer Yanya at Brooklyn Steel 10/1.

Do Pier 17 shows now go through AXS? Seems odd given it's a Live Nation owned/booked venue.

I've noticed that with a few Live Nation shows lately - My guess is that they are doing a little diversifying because the Justice Dept. is breathing down their necks regarding them and TM being a monopoly.

Anyway, Inhaler at Pier 17 on October 18. 

Noticed the King's Theater ticketing platform is also getting to the "dynamic" pricing game as Remi Wolf GA tickets are like $100+

neil young was a great time last night - PA issues were a bummer, but at the same time, it kicking back in just in time for the "rock and roll can never die" line of hey hey, my my was an extremely cool moment

Went to buy Nilufer Tanya tickets for her show at Brooklyn Steel this morning, and I see they have something called "Preferred Terrace." Anyone ever seen that before? Does that mean they're selling tickets for the balcony, or have they found some way to subdivide the best GA club in the city so they can make more money?

Just googled around and saw this reddit thread. It looks like they are selling access to at least part of the balcony separately and for a higher price.

So stoopid.
