We hope you’ve recovered from Halloween, because this weekend is brimming with parties you don’t want to miss…

On Friday, the Guggenheim Museum is hosting their monthly Art After Dark party, which pairs the musical stylings of Holy Ghost! with the art of Kandinsky. The party only goes from 9 PM-1 AM, so with proper planning and motivation, you can continue your night at Webster Hall, where Girls & Boys is jumping off with Jazzy Jeff and Viking . We last saw Jazzy Jeff at the Bacardi B-Live party at M2 in June, where he hit the spot with an eclectic set that included well-chosen hip-hop favorites.

If you’re more into the house scene, Sasha is heading up the bill at Blk|Market Membership’s epic 14-hour party. The Brooklyn location is kept under wraps, but you can get in on the action if you RSVP.

Matt and Kim first caught our attention when they hopped on stage for a surprise performance on the NYC stop of the Bacardi B-Live tour. Fitting, since their song “Daylight” is featured in a recent Bacardi commercial. Their simple tunes, created by Matt on the keyboard and Kim on the drums, were a welcome change of pace during the hard-core electrofest.

With the release of their sophomore album, Grand, a Bacardi commercial, and an international tour, the duo has already had quite a year. So how do they top that? With a VMA nomination for Breakthrough Video, naturally.

Click here to vote for “Lessons Learned”, and don’t miss their performance next Friday at Street Scene in San Diego. If you’re waiting for them to come to NYC you may be out of luck – the Brooklyn natives don’t have any upcoming tour dates in the Big Apple.
