- Animal Collective | Friday, January 23 | 8:00 pm | $30 | Henry Fonda Music Box Theater, Los Angeles, CA – Map | You’ll either like them, love them, or greatly admire them for contributing to a genre of music that has yet to behold an official name. Labels aside, here’s hoping their onstage presence matches what they put out in studio. In case you miss the avant-garde foursome, they’ll also be playing at the Troubador on Saturday, January 23.
- Valerie Collective | Friday, January 23 | 11:oo pm | $1o | Webster Hall, New York, NY, Map | This brand of Collective – the electronica and synth-infused College, Anoraak, Russ Chimes and Lovelock – will be going onstage at 11pm, but feel free to mingle and catch bands Trash and 33HZ in the venue’s basement, also known as The Studio. Bring this flyer with you for half the cover. For more info, call (212) 353-1600.
