What You’re Doing Tonight: 7/10
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart play the Seaport, Las Ramblas drinks to the bulls, and ‘Alien’ turns 30
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart play the Seaport.
PAINLESS: They’re goth! They’re rock! They’re an indie quartet with a really long name! Local foursome The Pains of Being Pure at Heart will electrify the tall ships and dazed tourists at Pier 17 with an early-evening free show, part of summer’s Seaport Music Festival. 6PM.
NO BULL: Let’s be clear: Bulls won’t be running down West 4th Street. But tapas bar Las Ramblas is still celebrating the Running of the Bulls – the one going on right now in in Pamplona, Spain -- with a festival of Navarrese specialties through Tuesday 7/14. Show up wearing red and white, and they’ll even treat you to a wine-based kalimotxo cocktail. 5PM on. Las Ramblas, 170 West 4th Street (6/7 Avenues); 646-415-7924.
BAD EGG: Ridley Scott’s ‘Alien’ redefined the science-fiction genre, ignited debates about shifting gender roles (Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley = unprecedented female action flick badass), and made us unable to ever look at John Hurt the same way again. Kicking off tonight, Film Forum’s weeklong run screens a new 35mm print for ‘Alien’’s 30th anniversary. Various times.
