NYC Concert News

Some NYC concert news and notes for your Wednesday morning:

Per Brooklyn Vegan comes news that the New York Dolls will be playing a free show at South Street Seaport on Friday, August 18th. The band is standing in for the Box Tops, who were previously scheduled to play but had to pull out due to a medical emergency.

Regina Spektor, who has been getting a lot of attention from the indie kids the past few months, is playing Town Hall on Wednesday, September 27th. Tickets go on sale today at noon. If you're curious what she sounds like, head over to My Musical Trivia to check out a couple songs.

Razorlight are playing the Bowery Ballroom on everyone's favorite go-out day, September 11th. Tickets are on sale at noon. I didn't hear much of their first album, but quite like the Talking Heads undertones of their new single, "In the Morning" (Windows Media).

Several Webster Hall shows on sale today at noon, including The Knife, Cut Chemist/Lyrics Born, and Michael Franti & Spearhead. Not one of those interests me, but I list them here because I love you.

Still no word on on-sale dates for Mojave 3 or Portastatic...
