Tuesday, October 20^th - Laura Marling, The Antlers, and Fanfarlo @ Music Hall of Williamsburg

Laura Marling (pictured) plays stunning folk with a voice that will both give you chills and rock you to sleep. Catch her at 9:30, followed by The Antlers’ lazy pop and Fanfarlo’s more upbeat Brit pop. Go to the Music Hall of Williamsburg’s site for tickets and more info.

Wednesday, October 21^st - Afuche and Arms @ Fontana’s

Afuche play “Instrumental odd-meter afro-cuban free-jazz noise-funk,” and their live show is something through which one simply cannot stay still. Arms bring fuzzy indie rock with lovely vocals and healthy amounts of dreaminess. AND, there will be free nachos!

Extremely close second: Cymbals Eat Guitars and Real Estate @ Santos Party House

Thursday, October 22^nd - Shilpa Ray & Her Happy Hookers @ Piano’s

Friday, October 23^rd - Motel Motel and Japandroids @ The Bell House

Becky put it well. Awesome venue, and reportedly awesome live performances.

Saturday, October 24^th - Au Revoir Simone @ The Bell House

The ladies of Au Revoir Simone play dreamy electronic keyboard pop that’s a perfect way to end the week as you sway softly on most likely very tired legs. They play with The Postmarks and Still Flyin’, among others, and info can be found at The Bell House’s website.
