Anticipation

Okay NY'ers, so here's a quick lineup of some of the bands that will be in the city this month. For more details on any show go to ohmyrockness, as they are all diff venues/ticket distributors.

PS - I likely omitted some shows that were sold out, like the Radiohead shows June 13 and 14, which I have tickets to. Suckers! (Ha, just kidding, I wish upon all of you endless tickets to sold out shows this summer)

5/21 - The National @ Webster Hall, Indie/Rock/Punk-light
5/22 - Gnarls Barkely @ Webster, Gnarls is part of the "treat" genre (sold out but tix for flipping $70 on craigslist. One day I will go on a rampage about scalpers... JERKS)
5/22 - Frog Eyes @ Mercury, quirky Canadians
5/24 - The Walkmen @ Webster, Indie suit wearing rockers
5/25 - Say Hi To Your Mom @ Mercury, blah blah Indie blah blah
6/2 - Super Furry Animals @ South Street Seaport (FREE!)
6/4 - Tapes n' Tapes @ Bowery, great band from Minnesota of the same cut as Shins/Death Cab but I think better - or at least more original (sold out, but not obscene on craigs, and plus they are coming back later in the summer)
6/9 and 10 - Cat Power @ Town Hall
6/10 - Mr. Brownstone @ Bowery (yay hair bands!)
6/11 - !!! (chik chik chik) @ Northsix, these guys are kind of rough around the edges but apparently a really fun live show.
6/18 - Band of Horses @ Warsaw (don't think this is sold out yet, so get on it!)
6/27 - The Streets @ Webster Hall, awesome British rapper (just one guy, despite plural name), not sure if these are sold out or just not up on ticketweb... UPDATE: they are sold out, but up on craigslist.
6/29 and 30 - We are Scientists @ Warsaw and Irving (respectively)
6/30 - The Futureheads @ Webster, I saw these guys last year in the same venue and they were great. Lots of energy. Scottish though so I couldn't understand a f*cking word they said while not singing.
6/30 - The Walkmen @ Warsaw
6/30 - TV on the Radio @ Prospect Park (FREE!)
7/6 - Mates of State @ Castle Clinton (FREE!), I love this band. Just two people (I think they are dating), lots of synthy sounds but really great lyrics.
7/15 - Village Voice Siren Festival @ Coney Island featuring Tapes N' Tapes, Art Brut and She Wants Revenge
8/3 - New Pornographers @ Summerstage

I'll try to update this as frequently as possible, and throw in any other recommendations that come to pass. Let me know if I missed anyone!
