Wednesday
Kria Brekkan, Beach House, Lesser Gonzalez Alvarez, Dent May, Adventure, Excepter, Tickley Feather, Ecstatic Sunshine, Rings, WZT Hearts
The Carpark Family and the Animal Collective-offshoot label Paw Tracks convene tonight with an eclectic mess of folks. New Paw Tracks signings Lesser Gonzalez Alvarez and Dent May put in appearances. Wispy 4-track folk-recorder Tickley Feather brushes shoulders with Brooklyn's inscrutable electricians Excepter. The resplendent fuzz of Beach House co-headlines with ex-múm squeaker Kria Brekkan, who singularly folds her voice and piano chops into something else entirely.

White Rainbow, Lichens, ARP
Opening reception for multimedia artist Doug Aitken and his new film, "Migrations." Aitken has incorporated folks like Black Dice as well as Cat Power's Chan Marshall into his exhibits in years past and tonight should be no exception, with three dudes tweaking their circuitry into individual soundtracks to accompany the show. Adam Forkner (who also plays in The Atlas Sound) appears in his White Rainbow incarnation, Lichens is the work of ex-90 Day Men Rob Lowe, ARP the analog musings of Alexis Georgopoulos.
303 Gallery 547 W. 21st Street All Ages free
Walter Meego, Sebastien Grainger (from Death From Above 1979), Bear Hands, Natalie Portman's Shaved Head
Get your 8-bit noisenik, broken drum machine, electro-fueled fix here. Walter Meego run their analog squelches and filtered pop out on the Almost Gold imprint, while DFA79 duder Sebastien Grainger appears in his hard new-wave rock incarnation (think Loverboy, also Canadian and loving red pants). The ridiculously named Natalie Portman's Shaved Head open and appropo, also love themselves some 80's.
