Yes, Marcy Playground (pictured) is making their long-awaited return to Club Red on August 28. The New York trio best know for such hits as "Sex And Candy, "Sex And Candy" and the Latin crossover smash "Sexo y Dolces" is sure to play that song and a dozen or so others you don't know at this Friday night show. Sigh.

We promise you there's a few other decent shows listed on the jump.
