Active Viewin': Concert Picks Week Of January 14th, 2013

Spider Bags Dan McGee promised me a concert last September at MHOW… never happened. Then Songkick announced a gig at Union 251, but their basement got flooded. And then the band switched this gig from Saturday to Friday though luckily I don't care so here, FINALLY, the makes of Shake My Head -2012's best album, live on stage on Friday at Cameo Galley in Brooklyn.: IT'S SPIDER BAG

Monday – Jake Bugg – Bowery Ballroom – He was 18 years old last year so that must make this UK folkie… awful young.

Tuesday – Lynyrd Skynyrd – Beacon Theater – There was never a better Southern jam band and now there are many. But go see em any way.

Wednesday – Ms Mr – Mercury Lounge – 630p door for this chill wave band whose "Hurricane" was one of last years best songs

Thursday – Emili Sande – Webster Hall – On the verge of being the UK's biggest export since Adele, so catch her at a smaller venue while you can.

Saturday – The Smithereens – BB Kings – Proto-grunge one hit wonders but lotsa shoulda been hits 

Sunday – Iris Dement – City Winery – Following a hugely great album with a highly anticipated gig.
