Tuesday, March 1
Elizabeth and The Catapult @ Rockwood
This band plays fun pop rock that makes you want to bounce around as you smile at front-woman Elizabeth Zimmerman's clever lyrics. "If you want a girl to be your mother go find another, go find another one. You only call me when your life’s going under, I’m not just a cover, not just a cover up." [Via]

Friday, March 4
Dum Dum Girls @ Bowery Ballroom
Go and get the angst of the week out by listening to hot chicks in red lipstick play garage rock. Frontwoman Dee Dee Penny recently talked to the Boston Globe and described her process as:
“It went like this: I wrote five songs on my nylon-stringed acoustic guitar, and I realized I obviously have a love for folk music and I’m a huge Mamas & Papas fan. I could have recorded an album that sounded like that, but that’s not where my interest is right now. I wanted it to be tougher than that. So it made a lot of sense to pair the melodies and pretty harmonies with something tougher.’’ [Via]

Robert Randolph @ Brooklyn Bowl
Black Taxi @ Mercury Lounge

Mike Snow, Major Lazer, Santigold, DJ Mehdi and So Me @ Terminal 5
Are you sick of "Animal" yet? Of course not. Miike Snow played a lot of shows over the summer months, but enough time has passed since they graced New York to get genuinely pumped about this show.
