New York

In yet another show of dissatisfaction over the way the police are abusing their power (and other people), the folks of New York took to the streets and protested this week. Of course, these things never seem to work out the way they’re planned and the end result was that about three dozen people ended up being arrested. Mostly this was because they jumped into the road and disrupted traffic, though there were a couple of cases of police being assaulted.

Though it’s never a problem to find dozens of bands and other musical performances on any night of the week in NYC, here are a couple of highlights for this week. If one of these is up your alley, then stop by and enjoy some music and everything else the venue has to offer.

John Mellencamp - Isaac Stern Auditorium/Apollo Theater - April 20^th & 21^st/April 23^rd & 24^th
