Death Cab For Cutie @ McCarren Pool: It's a beautiful night for the venue, and now that Narrow Stairs owns our souls, this is kind of a no-brainer. 

Gnarls Barkley @ Apple Store Soho: If you missed the duo's free Myspace show this past Sunday, here's another shot to see them perform gratis. Unfortunately, the new iPhone won't be on sale yet.

The Pink Spiders @ Knitting Factory: The hot topic set will crawl from their suburban trenches for the fingerless-glove-wearing power pop trio. We Are the Fury co-headlines.

The Breeders @ Webster Hall: Seems like these 90s alt rockers are having a pretty successful second coming. They'll be rocking Webster Hall a bit later.

The XYZ Affair @ Music Hall of Williamsburg: Not exactly sure why this is a free show, but hey, we'll take it. Our friends from The Action Painters open.
