Capital Cities

The Perez Hilton-endorsed, indie-pop Capital Cities hail from LA, and you'd be hard-pressed not to hear the duo's summery hit single "Safe and Sound" at least once a day while out and about. Ring in your New Year with the MGMT-esque band as it toasts its debut disc, In a Tidal Wave of Mystery. The steep $50 ticket is actually one of the most reasonable prices you'll find on NYE, but if you want to take advantage of the Observatory's open bar, you'll have to shell out an extra $100.
