Sooooooooooo the two Jerry Seinfeld shows at the NAC have sold out, unsurprisingly. Thankfully, there are two iconic musicians playing tonight (and one prime minister to celebrate) so we can forget about not seeing the famous comedian (who has just had some fun in cars with U.S. President Barack Obama.)
There are still tickets to see power pop guru Paul Collins, who helped found the west coast pop sound of the 70’s and 80’s with his bands The Nerves (whose Hanging’ on the Telephone became a smash hit for Blondie) and The Beat (not to be confused with The English Beat — depending on which side of the pond you originate). He will be playing House of Targ and, while we assume some of his classics will be on the set list, Collins is still recording and touring with new material, 10 p.m., 1077 Bank St. Ticket price to-be-announced. www.houseoftarg.com
