Fruit Bats

If you're not already slotted for Wednesday night plans, consider this your cosmic nudge. Fruit Bats are descending on Webster Hall, an event practically begging you to slip into your thrifted denim jacket and join the alt congregation. Eric D. Johnson's ensemble masters the art of spinning tales that sound like a sunbeam caught in a vinyl groove, echoing with hints of '70s psych-folk and a smattering of modern indie sensibility that feels like it was crafted for a Wes Anderson soundtrack. As the lights dim and the first notes ripple through the space, you'll find yourself shoulder-to-shoulder with music aficionados who know that missing out on this is akin to skipping the afterparty where all the real magic happens. It's more than just a gig—it's a scene, and Webster Hall is the place to catch every glimmering moment.
