Brandon Seabrook & Mary Halvorson

Roulette Brooklyn : 8:00 p.m. October 11

Gonna be a big one. Two of town’s most inspired guitarists bring their leftie POVs to a room that breeds experimentation. Seabrook can be high-flying, with a fearless blitzkrieg approach. Halvorson is as sneaky as they come, twirling her lines in a way that lassos you before even realize... More >>

Zevious+Sonar

ShapeShifter Lab : 8:00 p.m. October 11

Brooklyn’s Shapeshifter has already established itself as a haven for jazz-metal, but now NYC forward-thinkers Zevious enter into the fray: The trio’s deconstruction of the Minutemen's jazz-damaged punk, Nels Cline avant-guitar godliness, and Behold The Arctopus-like tech-metal... More >>

Hanni El Khatib+Bass Drum of Death

Bowery Ballroom : 9:00 p.m. October 11

After spending a good amount of time as a creative director at the skateboarding/clothing company HUF, Hanni El Khatib decided to pursue music as a career instead of a hobby. Taking his expertise in the fields of marketing and design to the helm of a new label, Innovative Leisure, he helps... More >>

Simone Felice

Rockwood Music Hall : 7:00 p.m. October 12

The novelist, former Felice Brother, and Duke and the King co-founder is working on (and crowd-funding) his second solo album and latest rhapsodically chilling dispatch from the Catskills.

East Village Music

Meat Puppets

Brooklyn Bowl : 8:00 p.m. October 12

The Meat Puppets are one of those bands whose omnipresence and influence within alternative music can't be missed: From Nirvana to Pavement, this cowpunk band and early SST Records signee, fronted by Phoenix’s Kirkwood brothers, have been unapologetically themselves since the early '80s....

Brooklyn Music

Oddisee+Diamond District

Drom : 8:00 p.m. October 12

This DC-based rapper has maintained a cult following longer than some hip-hop characters can keep a major label interested, yet he's never made a full foray into the mainstream. Melding conscious, thought-provoking raps with string-heavy instrumental backing and traditional melodic structures,... More >>

East Village Music

Fuzz

The Mercury Lounge : 10:30 p.m. October 12

This aptly monikered young California trio—consisting of Roland Cosio (bass), Charlie Moothart (guitar), and prolific garage-psych overachiever Ty Segall (drums, vocals)—revives the meth-fueled blast furnace of early Blue Cheer. Moothart has Leigh Stephens's overdriven,... More >>

Lower East Side Music

Those Darlins

The Mercury Lounge : 6:30 p.m. October 14

Feminist rockabilly sounds like an oxymoron, but these darlins pull it off with a brash combination of sass, sex appeal, and the unvarnished truth of their experience. On Blur the Line, their self-consciously titled third studio album, they ironically ask whether the subaltern can truly speak,... More >>

Lower East Side Music

Nine Inch Nails+Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Barclays Center : 8:00 p.m. October 14

Back in gear after a several year absence, the visceral nature of early Nine Inch Nails has given way to something more rewardingly cerebral. Reunion album Hesitation Marks plays like the sonic equivalent of a long, winding tour through fossilized wormwood. Life may not have frontman Trent... More >>

Brooklyn Music

Vanessa Carlton

Highline Ballroom : 8:00 p.m. October 15

It's hard to believe that it's been 11 years since the release of Carlton's riveting debut, Be Not Nobody, a record that set the bar high for singer-songwriters in the new millennium. Since then, she's continued to float around pop music both as an artist herself and as an influence on the... More >>

Chelsea Music

Savages

Terminal 5 : 7:00 p.m. October 16

Savages are an all-female English foursome who approach post-punk with a ferocious feminism that rivals the wildness of the riot grrrl movement. Fairly new on the scene, they only formed at the end of 2011 but have already won plenty of accolades from both fans and press. Expect ceaseless... More >>

West 50s Music

Charli XCX+Kitten

Irving Plaza : 8:00 p.m. November 13

East Village Music

Massive Attack

Park Avenue Armory : 8:00 p.m. daily until October 3

This unusual collaboration with the award-winning documentary filmmaker has the trip-hop icons performing while the audience is enveloped in videos which turn a suspicious eye toward modern technology. That perspective has always been a central part of their appeal, but this may be the most... More >>

East 60s Music

Steely Dan

Beacon Theatre : 8:00 p.m. October 3; 8:00 p.m. October 4; 8:00 p.m. October 5; 8:00 p.m. October 7

You can usually find these poster boys of jazz-rock right around the intersection of yacht-rock and prog, with grooves worthy of the Doobie Brothers played over far more complex chord sequences. They've released only three new albums in the past 25 years, so their week-long run at the Beacon... More >>

West 70s Music

Regina Carter

Birdland : 8:30 p.m. daily until October 5

The reigning queen of jazz violin has carved a niche for herself by blending the traditionalist style of Stephane Grappelli with the avant-garde bravado of Billy Bang and the dazzling technique of Itzhak Perlman. She studied with the latter at one point as a young classical violin student at... More >>

West 40s Music

Gary Lucas's 'The Edge of Heaven'

Brooklyn Academy of Music : 7:30 p.m. October 4; 7:30 p.m. October 5

Among the best of this fine all-over-the-map guitarist's albums is his 2003 tribute to Zhou Xuan and Bai Guang, two of China's so-called Seven Great Singing Stars during the 1930s and '40s. Lucas, who discovered the shidaiqu sound while living in Taiwan, updates their sultry, sentimental, and... More >>

Brooklyn Music

Tom Harrell Quintet

Village Vanguard : 8:30 p.m. daily from October 8 until October 13

The “dream” reference in the trumpeter’s new Colors Of A Dream harks to his take on Dali’s esthetic, and at its most vivid Harrell’s spin on the hard bop lingo can claim several surreal moments. His working quintet brings a feisty punch to every stage it commands,... More >>

West Village Music

Ginger Baker's Jazz Confusion

Iridium : 8:00 p.m. daily from October 9 until October 13

"Beware of Mr. Baker" or not, this should be a lively percussion-focused run, at least if the former Cream drummer holds up. Baker, who still exudes rock-star attitude as well as considerable Afrobeat mojo, leads a quartet consisting of the powerful saxophonist Pee Wee Ellis, bassist Alec... More >>

The 1975

Bowery Ballroom : 9:00 p.m. October 9; 9:00 p.m. October 10

Of course, the world will never have enough alt-rock groups eager to assume their own take on sex, drugs, rock and roll and the glory of youth. It's been a minute since pop-punk had these topics on lock, and indie rock seems to have rescinded a bit, so in steps UK-based group the 1975. Applying... More >>

Lower East Side Music

The Pocket Opera Players

Symphony Space : 8:00 p.m. daily from October 10 until October 12

With the New York City Opera shuttered (see you later, David H. Koch Theater), there's no better time to explore New York City opera's small, independent, and intelligent alternatives. Comedy and tragedy share a promising bill in the Pocket Opera Players' world premieres of two one-act operas:... More >>

Jazz at Lincoln Center : 8:00 p.m. October 11; 8:00 p.m. October 12

The Julie Ruin

Music Hall of Williamsburg : 9:00 p.m. October 25

In 1997, feminist punk icon Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill retreated to her bedroom to create an excellent home-recorded solo album titled Julie Ruin.
