Concert Picks: Toys and Tiny Instruments, Har Mar Superstar, Fujiya & Miyagi…
Don’t worry, we’ll say it for you – the winter blues have officially hit. Whether it’s the colder, more inclement weather, the lull between semesters, the plateau after the holidays, or all of the above – there’s an itch that needs scratching and we suggest a show to lend a helping hand. It’s natural to look forward to something, so thank goodness the weekend is about to intervene before the urge to at Valentine’s Day chocolates three weeks before it’s appropriate does. (Although we’re impartial to a 2-lb. box of See’s Candy any old day.) Check out our picks for the weekend below…
- Toys and Tiny Instruments | Friday, January 20 | 8:00 pm | 21+| $8 | Cake Shop, Brooklyn, NY – Map | This Brooklyn-based band gives of a total Barenaked Ladies meets Magnetic Fields meets Broadway musical vibe. In other words, as quirky, symbolic, intelligent and theatrical as one can get times, um, ten million would probably be the best way to describe the ensemble. We are choosing to refer to them as such. If in need of a quick fix, download the track “Lottery Ticket” for free as evidence, as well as stream the rest of their self-titled EP via bandcamp
