You should all check out the 3Farms free show:
http://www.arlene-grocery.com/events/events_3Farms.html. It's two full days (1-8PM on June 5th and June 9th) of music that not only rocks (David Johannsen of New York Dolls AND the former Buster Poindexter) but supports the independent music community. Clem Snide is playing, Matty Charles and The Valentines, Martha Wainwright, The Moonlighters and a ton more great ones. Even Maria Ventura, a 13 yo girl that's covering The Kinks! It's at the East River Amphitheater (Bleecker and Cherry). Totally sweet.
