Hark! For the void is upon us, and the void demands live shows. Its gaping maw black and deep as the infinite abyss, slobber streaming out of its jagged corners. It laughs with the hoarse crackle of Beelzebub. Its eyes fall on you like a searchlight, circling where you lost your way. It sees you. It knows you. It knows what you’ve done. And it won’t let you forget that which you so desperately tried to bury.

Uh, I mean, hey, welcome to La Lista! Below are some cool shows to enjoy this week, and be sure to check out the Spotify playlist featuring all these excellent bands.

Thursday 11/10

Salón Pueyrredón turns 21

Veritable Palermo punk rock institution Salón Pueyrredón turns twenty-one! Aww. Isn’t that adorable? We love the divey, patched-together feel of the venue, so we’ll be there celebrating along with hardcore bands DOSIS and Funerales, peppy indie-rock band Impermeables, bluesy garage rockers Excursionistas, punky shoegazey band LoS Posibles, adrenaline-fueled punk chanters Hércules Vigila, irresistibly catchy Calma Isabel, our good friends Ex-Colorado, and the punky stoutheartedness Ragazzas.

Pyramides and Viva Elástico at La Confitería

Medalla Milagrosa, Placard, La Noche Que Estuve a Punto de Morir

You know what’s a really good combination? The energy of punk rock and the vast soundscapes of shoegaze. It’s like yeah I like a good pop melody, but also give me that sense of ethereal grandiosity, yanno? That’s why we love Medalla Milagrosa, and the fact that they’re playing this show with eclectic rockers La Noche Que Estuve A Punto De Morir and the wonderful Placard.

9 PM | AR $200 | Salas Caras y Caretas | Sarmiento 2037

Mauro Valenti and Coghlan at Roseti

Singer-songwriter Mauro Valenti makes anachronistic, head-scratchy music, and we mean that in the best possible way. He is joining forces with fellow quirky character Coghlan for a night of delightful weirdness.

9 PM | AR $100 | Roseti | Roseti 722

De Incendios, Los Pencales and Distancias at Panda Rojo
