The Hood Internet
Santos' Party House - 100 Lafayette St. - New York (Chinatown)
11 p.m.
The Hood Internet is making a serious run at dominating the world of mash-ups, that quirky musical category achieved by blending an instrumental version of a song with (an often very different) vocal from another. The group’s inventive and witty mixes often combine hip-hop or R&B with...

Nokia Theatre Times Square - 1515 Broadway - New York (Midtown West)

Tragedy A Metal Tribute To The Bee Gees
Bowery Ballroom - 6 Delancey St. - New York (Lower East Side)
7:30 p.m.
This show either sells itself, or it doesn't. The hilariously named Tragedy is a heavy-metal Bee Gees tribute band. Genius or high-dea gone wrong? Billed as "a theatrical, comical, arena-rocking spectacle, with eight band members on stage plus guest singers, dancers and dubious characters appearing...

Music Hall of Williamsburg - 66 North Sixth Street - Brooklyn (Williamsburg)

Philadelphia native Langhorne Slim honed his craft during years of open mic nights on the Lower East Side. A disciple of Bob Dylan and The Band, Slim’s brand of folk-rock is built on simple observations and yelping, slightly off-kilter vocals set against a musical backdrop of guitars, organs...

Absinthe
Spiegeltent at Fulton Fish Markets - South Street Seaport - New York
The quintessential Spiegelworld show, Absinthe shoves a whole gaggle of entertainers into a classic variety show. Aerial acrobatics (read: swinging sexpots) dominate the lineup, but there are contortionists, comedy acts, cabaret singers and deranged roller skaters, all decked in fabulous period...
