Crustcake Picks: NYC Shows 10/2 - 10/8

by theseseans (NYC)

Jesus! There are A LOT of shows coming up this week, and I am here to give you some highlights of what we here at Crustcake will be making an effort to check out (well, not me, I've getting my wisdom teeth pulled out Saturday morning, fuck. Otherwise, I would obviously be at all of these shows.)

First off, we are really excited about finally getting too see Watain on the Black Magic Tour along with Withered and Book Of Black Earth Wednesday at The Knitting Factory. On the complete opposite end of....well, everything, Jenny Lewis is playing the Apollo Theatre this Saturday night. Granted, she doesn't play metal, and her new album is one my biggest disappointments for this year; she is still amazing live and if she plays anything off of Rabbit Fur Coat it will totally be worth it.

We are also pumped to check out Samothrace, a group we profiled not long ago. They will be playing this week's Precious Metal Show Monday night at Lit Lounge. But that's not all, we've got shows from GWAR, Toxic Holocaust, Unearthly Trance, Goes Cube, Batillus and more. Read more for a complete list of our recommended shows this week.

See you out there.
