777 has you covered.
It’s the weekend and what better way to spend your days away
from work and school than going to see a show. There are a lot of great artists
coming to the island this weekend, leaving you with many options to let off
some steam and rock out.
That is why Vinyl Bay 777, your new favorite record shop on
Long Island, has compiled this list of seven live shows hitting the island this
weekend worth checking out. Stay local and still have a good time.
1.
Chris Robinson Brotherhood: Started as a Black
Crowes side project, the band has become more than just an “experiment.” They released
their fourth album, ‘If You lived Here, You Would Be Here By Now,’ earlier this
month and are now touring behind it. (Friday, Space at Westbury)
2.
The Dillinger Escape Plan: This is your last chance
to see The Dillinger Escape Plan before they break up. Earlier this year, lead
singer Greg Puciato declared that after the band finishes their current tour,
they will be disbanding for good. The band released their sixth and final
album, ‘Dissociation,’ in October. (Friday, The Paramount)
3.
Tower of Power: This prolific R&B band is
best known for their hit “What Is Hip?” They haven’t released an album on new
music since 2009, but continue to tour extensively with their current line-up.
(Friday, NYCB)
4.
The Trinity Tour: This tour features three of
metal’s most infamous lead singers: Geoff Tate of Queensryche, Tim “Ripper”
Owens of Judas Priest and Blaze Bayley of Iron Maiden. Rock out to music from
all three bands, plus new material each artist has been working on throughout
their careers. (Saturday, Mulcahy’s)
5.
Kansas: Kansas has been having a busy second
half to their 2016. In September, the band released their first album in 16
years, ‘The Prelude Implicit.’ Now, they are on tour in celebration of the 40th
anniversary of their breakthrough album ‘Leftoverture,’ where they will be
playing the album in its entirety. (Saturday, The Paramount)
6.
Andrew W.K.: Hard rocking party “guru” Andrew
W.K. is bringing his 50-state ‘Power of Partying’ speaking tour to Brooklyn
(technically still Long Island) this weekend. While this isn’t really a music
event, it will definitely be about bringing people together through music and
partying. And isn’t that all we really need right now? (Sunday, Music Hall of
Williamsburg)
7.
Less Than Jake: Gainsville Ska-punk vets Less
Than Jake will be playing their sophomore album, ‘Losing Streak,’ in its
entirety this weekend for the album’s 20th anniversary. Opening for
them are Mustard Plug and local favorites High School Football Heroes, making
for what will be an amazing night of ska-punk. (Sunday, Revolution)
There’s nothing better than going to a live show to get you inspired
and ready to take on the week ahead. Hopefully these shows will peak your
interest and get you rocking out to some great music right here on Long Island.
