David Wax Museum played at the Housing Works Bookstore Cafe on Tuesday.

Go see them. Immediately. (If you live in NYC, that’s going to be November 30 at Mercury Lounge.)

See the rest of my photos from their show →

More wise advice, and thanks again to jcn for taking photos!

David Wax Museum marks my first animated feet, I think.

Seeing concerts here is The Best. We’ve got four coming up next month: Jerrod Niemann, Jake Shimabukuro, Milo Greene & Kat Edmonson, and Jesse Harris with Danielia Cotton (on sale tomorrow at noon). Get tickets!

DANCE! That’s Heidi with me. Catch David Wax Museum at Mercury Lounge on November 30. Thanks for taking photos, Jesse!

Last night’s amazing show with David Wax Museum in Instagrams. If you missed it (and you missed out, it was magical), you can catch them at Mercury Lounge on November 30.

She really is playing the jawbone of an ass. See it live tomorrow. (via David Wax Museum: Tiny Desk Concert : NPR)
