The Punk Goes Acoustic Tour: Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols) & Sylvain Sylvain (New York Dolls)
Glen Matlock has made indelible contributions to music as the original bass player with The Sex Pistols, formed the underrated Rich Kids, worked with a variety of artists ranging from Iggy Pop to fellow original School of ’76 Brit Punk Rockers, The Damned. Building on the Rolling Stones’ dirty rock & roll, Mick Jagger’s androgyny, girl group pop, the glam rock of David Bowie and T. Rex, and the Stooges’ anarchic noise, the New York Dolls created a new form of hard rock that presaged both punk rock and heavy metal. Their drug-fueled, shambolic performances influenced a generation of musicians in New York and London, who all went on to form punk bands. Tonight the duo comes together for a special acoustic set. City Winery, 155 Varick St., Manhattan. 212-608-0555. www.citywinery.com. April 1

The Bouncing Souls
For the past 25 years The Bouncing Souls have covered all territories, examined all subject matter and charged through explosive punk rock songs that reflect on almost everything. But now the New Jersey group will explore a new frontier: Space. The band’s new album, Comet, their ninth full-length studio release, showcases the fact that even after a quarter of a century the musicians can still find new artistic and musical ground. After a few late-night tour conversations about the 2012 end of the world prophecies, the band members penned a song called “Comet,” a track that grappled with the idea of living life to the fullest no matter when life might cease to continue. That track evolved into the disc’s title and cover art. With I Am the Avalanche, Mind Over Matter & Timeshares. The Paramount, 370 New York Ave., Huntington. April 4

I Had

I Had
Artist Jeremy Zierau blends street art influences with a fine art presentation, creating objects that lack purpose. The purpose of non-purpose is to create arbitrary conversations between the viewer and the object, to develop discernment in their approach to conceptualism, and art in a broader context. The works presented raise questions about the validity of art in today’s society, and also attempt to invalidate the idea that “anyone can be an artist.” Ripe Art Gallery, 67A Broadway, Greenlawn. www.ripeartgal.com. Opening reception: April 6 On display: Through May 4
