Tonight! Mastadon, Cymbals Eat Guitars, And That Rock Hall Thing

Mastadon. Dethklok. (Who apparently actually exist.) Converge. High on Fire. At Hammerstein tonight. You're welcome.

Oh, you're not a metal person. Well. Seeing as we praised wry, ornery indie-rock savant John Roderick, he of the Long Winters, to the skies yesterday as an opener, we'd do well not to overlook that he's headlining Union Hall tonight. Excellent stage banter is guaranteed.

Cymbals Eat Guitars, voted Best New Brooklyn Band by some mysterious entity here in the Voice compound, are at Sound Fix at 6:30. Buy something while you're at it.

Finally, if you have a few thousand dollars, some up-and-coming bands are playing Madison Square Garden for the Rock Hall's anniversary today and tomorrow.
