The Lemonheads at Knitting Factory

Knitting Factory Brooklyn 361 Metropolitan Ave , Williamsburg

Evan Griffith Dando formed The Lemonheads with two high school buddies in late winter '86, in their senior year at Boston's tiny Commonwealth School. Since then, they've been one of the most long-lasting (albeit volatile) contenders to emerge from the college-rock radio scene, outliving it entirely.

Smith Westerns at Music Hall of Williamsburg

Music Hall of Williamsburg 66 N 6th Street, Brooklyn

"In the four itinerant years since their self-titled debut, Smith Westerns have grown unphased by the rigors of touring. The melodic indie-rock group—whose latest album, Soft Will, drops June 25—has tested its mettle (and passed) with pivotal opening slots for MGMT and Wilco, not to mention high-profile stints in front of the itchy, overbaked masses at Coachella and Lollapalooza." - MHOW

OBN IIIs and Ex-Cult at Mercury Lounge

Mercury Lounge 217 E. Houston St., Lower East Side

You go to an OBN IIIs show to feel the band, not listen to them. Frontman (and namesake) Orville Bateman Neeley leads a raucous group of rabblerousers through furiously catchy two-minute punk explosions.
"Taking cues from the psychedelic noise of the 1960’s, the art-damaged post-punk of the late 1970’s, and the aggression and immediacy of early 1980’s US Hardcore, Ex-Cult has curated a sound that audiences nationwide find accessible, yet not quite like anything else they’ve heard." - Bowery Presents
