NYC Music Guide: August 9-15
We continue our NYC music guide series this week with Little Dragon, Grimes, Bloc Party, Braid, Real Estate, Yeasayer, and so many more. Scroll down and let us take the effort out of planning the perfect music-filled week.
Plus, don't forget to check out what shows are going on sale this Thursday and Friday - planning ahead is always a good idea, especially in NYC where everything seems to sell out.
