Not only are all official music showcases listed, but so are unofficial ones – free or RSVP.  Shows are official unless otherwise indicated by "(unofficial)", "(free)", or "(RSVP)"; free & RSVP shows are unofficial unless otherwise indicated with "(official)".
If only the start time is known, all bands listed under that start time.  Bands listed in order of appearance, or roughest guess/alphabetical order if not known.
* denotes that the venue is in the Bowery area of Manhattan.
^ denotes that the venue is in Williamsburg area of Brooklyn.
