Indie rockDream pop

Luna's interlocking guitars and half-whispered melodies are one of indie rock's most enduring pleasures, and hearing 'Penthouse' and 'Bewitched' material in a plush Art Deco basement theater suits them perfectly. Wareham's dry wit between songs is its own draw. If your record shelf runs to Velvet Underground, Yo La Tengo or Galaxie 500, this is your Friday night sorted.

What to expect

A seated-and-standing room of devoted longtime fans, pristine sound and a set that leans on the band's '90s classics with a few covers. Sony Hall's supper-club layout means you can grab a table and a cocktail or stand close to the stage. Expect an unhurried, immaculately played two hours.

Good to know

  • Any train to Times Sq-42 St; the hall is under the Paramount Hotel on 46th St
  • Mix of table seating and GA floor — tables go fast
  • Full bar and food service inside
  • Sound in the room is excellent everywhere; no bad spots
  • Great pre-show ramen and cocktail options within two blocks
