Bowery Ballroom will host The New Pornographers tonight, as they celebrate today's release of their anticipated album Challengers. The Canadian band has garnered loads of press attention this year with their relaxed pop sound. Tickets for tonight are sold out, but you may have a shot on Craigslist.

If you're above Houston st tonight, swing by Webster Hall, where upbeat foursome The Format will be performing their mid-century piano pop. Power pop darlings Piebald will be opening. Tickets are 17 beans, and doors open at 6.
