Live Music in NYC: This Week’s Concert Calendar – Sept 13-19

The Dodos @ SXSW, the Parish, Austin, TX, 3/16/11

After taking a week off last week for some much-needed vacay, I’m back in town and I had just enough time to finalize a little live music round-up for NYC shows. There are a ton of great concerts happening this week, and as usual, that includes a bunch of bands I’ve blogged about here on this site (including The Dodos, Greensky Bluegrass, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, & Washed Out).

Song of the Day: “Belong” by The Pains of Being Pure at Heart

Over the last couple days, I’ve been sifting through various video edits of this band’s live set from eMusic’s SXSW Day Party (to be posted soon!). As I said in my SXSW recap, bands like the Pains aren’t usually my style. But these guys put on a great show, and after seeing them live and watching a number of their videos, they’ve now sucked me in. This was one of my favs from the show last week:

It’s called “Belong” and it’ll be on their forthcoming album of the same name (due out on March 29th).
