Parquet Courts

Sympathy for Life is the brisk walk to the sprint that was Wide Awake! and has some of the most David Byrne-friendly production of their catalogue.

Parquet Courts has a stripped-down integrity that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Yes, its performance was a concert, but at the same time, it was simply four guys who put in a lot of time and effort to make each song the best it could be.

Whether you choose to attend concerts all around the Bay, compete in a nerdier Winter Olympics or marvel at aerial stunts, our picks have you covered.
