Crustcake Picks - NYC Shows 1/17 - 1/23

Crustcake Show Picks

I'm gonna join the OhMyRockness camp this week in endorsing the Apes and Androids and Blonde Redhead shows, both of which are, unfortunately, happening on the same night.

I am a big fan of Blonde Redhead's latest album, 23-- it's a bit of a departure from their previous Sonic-Youth-y output and that's not a bad thing at all. 23 is ethereal, haunting, enchanting.

As for Apes and Androids, I haven't heard too much, but after checking out their MySpace it seems OhMyRockness' description is fairly accurate:

Think David Bowie meets "Bohemian Rhapsody" meets Godspell meets Tron, and you're left with Apes and Androids. We caught these guys recently and thought we stepped straight into a rock opera.
More after the jump.
