I’ll be in NYC this weekend, and was wondering what live bands were in the city that night. I tried Googling, but am having a hard time sifting through the BS. Anyone willing to help out? Looking for something kind of rocking.

Try [digitalcity.com](http://digitalcity.com)

Or see if they sell the Village Voice anywhere around you (PA? I’m sure they do.)

not as extensive as the print edition, but there you go.

If you just want to see live music and your less interested in who actually see, there are plenty of venues that have music most nights of the week. Magnetic Field on Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn is my favorite.
