Death from Above 1979What: The rad electro-noise-rock band is back together, and workin' it out. Why: They sound like The Clash had a sleepover at Daft Punk's house and got frisky. Yusss...When: Friday, 5:30 PM (buy tickets)Where: The Williamsburg Waterfront (E. River Park, i.e. N 8th & Kent)

Opening: Dekalb MarketWhat: They turned an abandoned lot into a cozy hive of converted shipping containers, nesting local vendors, chefs, and artists inside.
