Jeez, what the heck? For the relatively small number of shows that happen in LIC-QNS-NYC, seems like we make it up in quality. There are two uber-top-notch lineups at the Creek and the Cave this weekend, anchored by NYC buzz-band Hologram and K Records' Karl Blau. Still at the low-low price of five clams. You don't need to go to any other boroughs this weekend for anything, or even to Astoria, for that matter.
