If you still like power-pop-oriented garage-goes-to-the-arena guitar-band rock, it doesn't currently get any better than Mary Timony's Ex Hex.  Great songs (gigantic hooks!  gigantic riffs!), great playing (Timony's guitar!), great live show.  Among the other bands on the bill are Versus, who've managed to hang around the New York rock scene for 30 years without generating a really first-rate song catalogue.   They'll make Ex Hex sound even better.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I know I sound like a broken record, but why would you not go to antic power-pop (they think they're hip-hop, actually) Sichuan clubstaurant Mission Chinese Food Brooklyn when it's right there?
