Looking for a last-minute Valentine’s Day date idea? Here you go: Queens-based indie pop duo Imaginary Tricks plays Pianos in the Lower East Side on February 14th. Take a friend (or someone more than a friend) to hear catchy tunes from the group, who’ve opened for Dr. Dog and Jimmy Eat World, among others.
The band — led by Mike Visser — has quite a bit coming up in the weeks following their Pianos show. They head to SXSW in Austin, where they’ll play at Maggie Mae’s on March 16th. Then they’ll release a new record, "Skommel," on March 24th. You can stream a track from the record, titled "Bird", below. – Will Sisskind
