Itasca (aka LA singer-songwriter Kayla Cohen) headlines this show which features a killer undercard, including The Clean’s Hamish Kilgour and underrated indie rockers Home Blitz.
Goblin @ Marlin Room at Webster Hall
It’s a little hard to keep track of the iterations of Italian prog band Goblin that are out there touring, and sometimes still making records. This one is Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin, who are stopping in NYC tonight before heading to Maryland Deathfest.
Flatbush Zombies, A$AP Twelvy, Remy Banks @ Webster Hall
NYC rap trio Flatbush Zombies have been kicking around the local scene for a few years, putting on wild live shows and dropping a handful of solid mixtapes and singles.

What is Literary Death Match? “Four writers read their own work for five minutes or less, and are then judged by three all-star judges. Two finalists are chosen to compete in the Literary Death Match finale, a vaguely-literary game to decide the ultimate winner.”
Cake Shop Comedy @ Cake Shop
If you miss Big Terrific and Hannibal Buress’ Sunday night show at Knit, and are looking for a new free, weekly comedy show that happens in a rock club and sometimes has big name talent stop by unexpectedly, “Cake Shop Comedy” might do the trick.
