The [indie rock] Music Scene in NYC largely overlaps The Bar Scene, with bars doubling as performance venues and watering holes spouting out of concert hall flooring.
Still, we all need to sneak the occasional show in, and tonight is the first of Fortified Winter Antifolk Festival 2008 at The Fort aka the backroom of Sidewalk Cafe (94 Avenue A; the birthplace of the antifolk movement) with musicians all night every night (through February 29) starting at 7:30pm.
The concert is free and there’s a “two drink minimum,” but according to the hostess, any two drinks will do “two coffees, two teas, two cokes.” So have at it!

And, if you consider antifolk to be The Bane, there are alternatives. About.com provides a wide angle view of standard music venues, while Oh My Rockness lists indie rock venues and keeps a curated concert calendar.
