Amazing Baby + Tigercity + Suckers + Kristina Lieberson

Ubër sexy Broken Land (Brooklyn) duo Amazing Baby join the current wave of neo New York hippie bands created in the petry dish that is Wesleyan University. Combining psych, folk, prog, and funk with elements of pop, AB will control your mind, body, and acid reflexes!

Mel’s World: Chicks on Speed

The German electropop group Chicks on Speed, who originally started out as a multidisciplinary art group, applying punk-inspired DIY ethics to performance art, return to NYC! Headlining a fashbash of visuals, music, and pretty people, COS will deliver a bevy of their greatest hits, including Warm Leatherette, Fashion Rules, Kaltes Klares Wasser, and Mind Your Own Business. André J and Jun Nakamaya host the festivities.

Le Royale, 21 Seventh Ave South at Leroy St, 212-463-0700, 10pm, www.myspace.com/chicksonspeed

The King Khan & BBQ Show + Vivian Girls + The A-Bones

Raucous garage-rockers Vivian Girls are the latest “it” band birthed in Brooklyn. But don’t expect more of that hippy dippy nonsense. Their current self-titled album is pure X-Ray Spex vs Hole. Unfortunately, they’re billed tonight with two loser bands.
