June 2 Super Furry Animals (South Street Seaport, Pier 17)
June 4 'Bang on a Can Marathon' (World Financial Center Winter Garden): Wherein new music dorks BOAC make an annual event out of every conceivable definition of "avant." Beyond their usual alt-adult, this year they've gone rock: Check out conceptual pop group Matmos, fresh off arting it up at the Biennial, here paired with NYC ensemble So Percussion; Wilco's Glenn Kotche, battling BOAC's own skinsman, David Cossin; and Alarm Will Sound, doing impossibly all-acoustic covers of, yup, Aphex Twin.

June 7 Jimmy Delgado Salso Con Dulzura Orquestra (Wagner Park)
June 13 Eels with Smoosh (World Financial Center Plaza)
June 14 Ralph Stanley + Tres Chicas (Rockefeller Park): With Bill Monroe now longer with us, this soon-to-be octogenarian is proudly carrying the torch for old-school bluegrass. And though his career stretches back to the '40s, the Coen Brothers' 2000 film O Brother, Where Art Thou? is where most people now remember him from. His stunning 2002 Grammy performance (where he won) is testament to his ongoing prowess. GROSS
June 20 Son Volt (World Financial Center Plaza): It's clear by now that Son Volt is whatever Jay Farrar says it is—and this summer he says it's a return to the band's soaring dynamics and his own image-heavy evocations—but with a decidedly pointed political bent at times that will remind some of Woody, some of Uncle Tupelo, others of Iraq.

August 25 Ted Leo & the Pharmacists (South Street Seaport, Pier 17): Leo's South Street Seaport gigs have attained mythic status over the years: In 2003, he played through the blackout, in 2004, a vicious thunderstorm. But Leo's sturdy, rousing, politically-charged pub-punk anthems are tougher than mere weather; he's outlasted countless scenes and several record labels to become one of indie rock's most reliable institutions.

July 15: Once again, the Voice-sponsored Siren fest will draw thousands of sun-dazed indie kids—and their audience!—to Coney Island's boardwalk. There's a band here for everyone, whether you hanker for inventive, bittersweet indie pop (Stars, Dirty on Purpose), slack Pavement fuzz (Tapes 'n Tapes), sleek theatricality (She Wants Revenge, standouts the Stills), buzzsaw theatricality (Celebration), or just plain cute guys with guitars (the Cribs).
