-Electric Six does the Rocks Off Concert Cruise on the 19th and the next night do it again at Maxwell's.

-Speaking of the next night, Friday July 20th is huge, and so is Saturday the 21st. Arguably the most packed two days of the summer:

  • Battles, the band pushed on this blog, will be performing at Studio B.
  • Gogol Bordello kicks off two nights at Irving Plaza.
  • Wil Hoge at Southpaw.
  • Electric Six at Maxwell's.
And Saturday the 21st:
  • The Village Voice Siren Festival will rock out one last time at Astroland with the New York Dolls, MIA, We Are Scientists, Voxtrot, Matt and Kim, The Black Lips, Dr. Dog, Noisettes, The Detroit Cobras, Elvis Perkins, the White Rabbits, the Twilight Sad, and more.
  • The Ponys and Jay Reatard at the Bowery Ballroom.
  • Aimee Mann at Warsaw.
  • Gogol Bordello at Irving, night 2.
  • Dirty Excuse at Magnetic Field.
-Not enough Cobras for you? They're back at Maxwell's the next night.

As if that's not enough, Tueday the 24th thinks it's a weekend night out, or as we call it in New York, a night out:
  • Some stupid band called the White Stripes will be playing Madison Square Garden and they get some losers named Nick Cave (hiding under the name Grinderman) and Porter Wagoner to help out. At least superstar Marty Stuart will be on hand to help out young Mr. Wagoner.
  • Devotchka kicks off the first of two nights at the Spiegeltent at the South Street Seaport.
  • The Comas and Great Northern will be at the Mercury Lounge.
-John Doe, himself no slouch, will be at the Merc on the 26th and Maxwell's on the 29th to promote his new solo record.

-Sonic Youth will be at the McCarren Park Pool on Saturday the 28th. The same night, Mondo Topless returns to Magnetic Field.

-TV on the Radio does a free show at the McCarren Park Pool on Sunday the 29th.
