The Weekend Showdown: Nathan & Stephen/Hearts of Palm lead our top picks for this weekend

2. Dirty Projectors

With Tune-Yards The Bluebird Sunday, November 8. Show starts at 8pm. $15.25-$18.00 Why you should go: Dave Longstreth’s been doing this for years with a variety of lineups. But Dirty Projectors broke it wide open this year with a collaboration with David Byrne on the Dark Was The Night compilation album and an incredible LP of their own, Bitte Orca. It’s catchy and weird and every time someone tries to talk about it, a new reference point comes up. In a parallel universe where dorks like us run pop radio, these guys are inescapable millionaires. In reality, you can see them up close for under $20.

3. Grant Hart

With Panal S.A. DE C.V, Sweet Sturgeons The Hi-Dive Sunday, November 8. Doors open at 8pm $8 Why you should go: Grant Hart may well be sick of being known as that dude from Hüsker Dü. After all, it’s been over twenty years since the band broke up, and Hart’s been making good music as a solo artist and member of Nova Mob the entire time. But, you know, he was in Hüsker Dü, and given how monumentally awesome that band was, he’ll probably forgive you if you go just to say you saw him.
