MUSIC
ON HER OWN The band Hercules & Love Affair is gliding through the music world with many attributes to its credit: Besides having an amazing name, the group scored big with its first dance hit, “Blind,” earlier this year. When bands become successful, it usually takes a couple years for any one group member to go solo, but tonight, H&LA’s songstress, Nomi, hits the stage alone at the Zipper Factory. A native of Sunset Park, Brooklyn, Nomi is an unbelievable figure — some might say she’s a role model to a huge population in the city — as she’s an open transsexual who has the voice of a 1960s soul singer and the body of an Olympic beach volleyball player. Expect tonight’s show to be full of sexiness and dancing, and if you’re lucky, other members of H&LA might make appearances as well.
10 p.m., Zipper Factory, 336 W. 37th St., between Eighth and Ninth avenues, 212-352-3101, $15.
