The Figgs have been around for a long time — since 1987 to be exact — and while their music has mellowed over the years, their sweet harmonies and Kinks-inspired guitar riffs are still there. The band is currently out promoting their album “Other Planes of Here,” stopping at Bowery Ballroom. Let your inner punk free.
