It’s Friday, which means there’s only a few more hours
separating you from the weekend. Now is the perfect time to finish putting
together your weekend plans. So why not make a live show part of those plans?
There are a lot of rock shows and tours coming through New
York this weekend. Whether you’re looking to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with
Murphy’s Law and House Of Pain, jam out to the classics with Eric Clapton,
Puddle Of Mudd and Murphy’s Law, celebrate music old and new with CJ Ramone,
Envy On The Coast and Senses Fail, or discover something new, there are plenty
of shows out there to fit your needs.
Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s top music outlet, loves live music.
That’s why we’ve compiled this list of our top rock shows in New York happening
over the weekend.
1.
Puddle Of Mudd: Hard rockers Puddle Of Mudd have
been touring rather frequently as of late. They were part of the inaugural Make
America Rock Tour last summer and are now on their own spring/summer tour. On
tour with them are fellow 2000’s hard rock bands Saving Abel, Tantric, as well
as O El Amor and Year of the Locust. (Friday, The Emporium)
2.
Murphy’s Law: New York hardcore legends Murphy’s
Law will be playing in Brooklyn tonight for St. Patrick’s Day. Hosted by Scenic
Presents, support for the show comes from The Minutes, Violent Affair, Drunken
Rampage and Nuclear Santa Claust. Also, this is a great chance to visit Don
Pedro before the venue shuts down in May. (Friday, Don Pedro)
3.
CJ Ramone: CJ Ramone’s new album, ‘American
Beauty,’ comes out today on Fat Wreck Chords and he’s celebrating with a CD
Release Party at Bowery Electric. The former bassist for the Ramones
will be joined by Big Eyes and Vapers. Come see him before he takes the album
on the road in April and May. (Friday, The Bowery Electric)
4.
Envy On The Coast: After reviving the band last
year, Long Island hard rockers Envy On The Coast are back and celebrating the
10th anniversary of their breakthrough album ‘Lucy Gray.’ The band
is currently on a headlining tour with support from Promise of Redemption and
Secret Space. (Friday & Saturday,
Brooklyn Night Bazaar)
5.
House
Of Pain: Don’t feel like giving up the St. Patrick’s Day spirit the next
day? House Of Pain will be bringing a bit of the Irish to The Paramount on Saturday
to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their single “Jump Around.” (Saturday,
The Paramount)
6.
Senses Fail: Celebrating 15 years as a band,
Senses Fail will be in town this weekend on their Quince Años Tour. Supported
by Counterparts, Movements and Like Pacific, the band will be playing their 2006
album ‘Still Searching’ at this show, so you won’t want to miss it. Senses Fail
released their latest EP, ‘In Your Absence,’ earlier this year. (Saturday,
Webster Hall)
7.
Oxymorrons: Chances are you’ve never heard of
this hip hop /alternative rock band, but you definitely need to check them out.
These guys have a great stage presence and don’t take themselves too seriously
in their music. Their hip hop sound will win over any hard core rock fan. Late
last year, the band released their fifth album, ‘Complex But Basic.’ (Saturday,
Music Hall of Williamsburg)
8.
Eric
Clapton: Three-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and guitar virtuoso
Eric Clapton rarely plays live anymore, but he will be making a few US appearances
this year, including Sunday and Monday night at Madison Square Garden. If you
can’t make these shows, he will be back in September for two dates. But don’t
sleep on it. Aside from these four dates, his only other two 2017 US dates are
in California. (Sunday & Monday, Madison Square Garden)
9.
After The Burial: If you’re into metal, After
The Burial will be in the area this weekend on their Carry The Flame tour. The
band released their latest album ‘Dig Deep,’ last year. Support on the tour
comes from Emmure, Fit For A King, Fit For An Autopsy and Invent. Animate. (Sunday,
The Marlin Room at Webster Hall)
