Wednesday Events: The Velvet Underground, Indie Rock Karaoke, Boris, Stellastarr*, and Vampire Weekend

New York Magazine presents Indie Rock Karaoke with Ted Leo & The Pharmacists. They'll be belting out Bon Jovi and The Beatles, followed by a set of their own tunes. Hope those voice lessons have paid off, cause last time around Paul Rudd delivered quite a show. Indie Rock Karaoke at Studio B. Indie Rock Karaoke at Studio B.
Never judge a band by its… name. Boris is a Japanese Punk/Metal band that's got their guitar riffs down cold. Not a Russian polka band in the least. Boris at Music Hall of Williamsburg.
