NY Times suggestions for the boys in Brooklyn....

IKE REILLY ASSASSINATION (Thursday) An eloquent wiseguy whose songs evoke Bob Dylan and Paul Westerberg, Mr. Reilly, a former bellhop and gravedigger from Chicago, has the kind of high-energy, hook-heavy folk-rock sound that turns every head in a bar, while his nasal vocals are unsparingly sardonic: “The friends that you rely on are the train tracks that you lie on.” At 9 p.m., Mo Pitkin’s, 34 Avenue A, near Third Street, East Village, (212) 777-5660, mopitkins.com; $15. (Sisario)

TIBET HOUSE BENEFIT (Monday) The 17th annual concert for Tibet House, an organization in New York that has among its aims housing a library and art collection for eventual repatriation, features Philip Glass, Laurie Anderson, Sigur Ros, Ray Davies, Deborah Harry, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Michael Stipe and Ben Harper. At 7:30 p.m., Carnegie Hall, (212) 247-7800, carnegiehall.org; $30 to $85. (Sisario)
