Upcoming shows

It was looking like a dry spring at first, but several good things have popped up recently:

Interpol @ Radio City 3/1 - Just found a ticket to this sold out show yesterday
Brazilian Girls @ Bowery Ballroom 3/16 - Heard about this group from Darlinda who's very excited about them. They sound extremely chill on the bits I checked out online, but apparently their live shows are higher energy.
Los Amigos Invisibles @ Irving Plaza 4/2 - I'm going to be out of town for this one. These guys are an excellent latin rock band, saw them first time four years ago or so in DC opening for Soul Coughing. Worth checking out.
Handsome Boy Modelling School @ Irving Plaza 4/20 - Dan the Automator and Prince Paul! Excellent experimental hip hop from the guys behind Lovage.
Snow Patrol @ Roseland 5/20 - Much hyped by U2 recently, probably the reason they're selling tickets so far in advance... Just gotten to know these guys recently from their "Spitting Games" track on a mix from Tera.


Good non-concerts too!

Henry Rollins @ Zipper Theater 3/22 - 4/2 - Former heavy punker turned intellectual... Rollins does great spoken word/standup. He's got several CD's out, but seeing him speak live is fantastic. He did a show at the 9:30 club in DC a few years back, sold out very sharpish and was excellent to see.
This is How it Goes @ Public Theater 3/10 - 4/16 - This is a new play by Neil Labute, the mind behind various very fucked up stories about people's relationships ("In the Company of Men"). His stuff is definitely thought-provoking, though more than a little disturbing at times... Interesting cast in this, Ben Stiller and Marisa Tomei.
