HIGH FIVE, it’s the weekend

In the wake of losing music venues Glasslands and Death by Audio, Vice continues paving its path of North Brooklyn destruction with plans to open additional offices in Bushwick

Secret Project Robot announced their closure at the end of March.

Things are getting really weird: Trump is the frontrunner of a major political party and it’s 73 degrees in March

How many times have you heard someone say, “This neighborhood is just getting so expensive”? If you live in Bushwick then, yeah, probably a lot

It’s cold outside

CMJ only seems like a drag if a) you’re in a band that’s playing 3+ shows; b) you don’t know how to navigate the madness

We hope you are all as jazzed about CMJ as we are! The festival is the College Music Journal’s “Music Marathon”- a completely amazing (and exhausting) week (October 21-25, 2014) of live music, giving the music community a chance to catch the best new artists from around the world before they blow up

Get swept away this weekend with a whole lotta great shows this weekend in Bushwick and beyond! This week we’ve got house parties, disco dancing, spookfolk concerts, and Escape Festival going down on Governor’s Island!

While in the dog days of summer it’s tempting to feel incredibly burned out by sun, booze, and an overload of summer shows, think back. Way back. To 2005 in fact. When you belted out All American Rejects lyrics guilt free in the shower. When Tyson Ritter told you to move along, you jumped. For Fun. For Freedom. To […]

It may seem as though we are always making it look like there is endless music out there over the weekend, (which typically there is, we swear)

Remember when the Girls took to Bushwick to rage out in a warehouse and (accidentally) smoke crack? Well, that’s not the route we recommend you go this weeken–maybe instead grab a 5-hour energy to get your fix as you hop around art shows by day and hit the rock and roll by night! Not all these shows are tied in with Bushwick Open Studios, but they will all be mega-fun and nothing like the gif above (hopefully?)

If you’re like us, you want the weekend to arrive promptly and loudly. Lucky for you, we know where all the parties are at! Check out the top 10 concerts we’ve rounded up this weekend, including a free “barn burner,” a Bangon! Party, Hardcore Fest at The Knockdown center, a Sunday night chillout show, and […]

The weekend may be looking thunderstorm-laden, but that means nothing for dedicated show-goers but an excuse to your golashes and fill up on Dark’n’stormies (we recommend Tandem’s). Then hit the wet pavement and bask in some light rain on your way to one of these amazing 9 top concerts of the weekend. We’ve got festivals, free shows, “art spaces” and […]

Take a look around, Bushwick

Are you PUMPED that it’s finally getting warm? Yeah, maybe it’s a little rainy, but that’s all part of spring on the upswing. What better way to rally in the gorgeous weather than to rock out at some rad shows?! We’ve crafted a list featuring a couple really great free concerts balanced out by some slightly […]

Everything seems to be going full speed in life lately. The days are longer, but they go by faster and there’s more to be done. Ferris Bueller said it right when he quipped, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” So, taking heed […]

SXSW may be fading into our rearview mirror but the hangover that came along with it isn’t

  We know what you are thinking. It’s SXSW week and Brooklyn is going to be dead because all the good bands will be gone. FALSE. Some bands are coming here! And others are staying here because Brooklyn is also awesome! Don’t get down and out about it, there are plenty of DIY venues to […]

This week’s Listening Party features Israeli bootgazers Vaadat Charigim

In this latest Friday First, we’re re-visiting some old friends; old friends from the future, that is (whoa, how meta)

So, the Olympics are over, with the USA ranking 4th in over all medals, but first in Gold medal pranks with another gem from Jimmy Kimmel

Get ready, because this weekend is about to get fabulous! We have 10 ass-kicking shows for you to choose from for an enhanced musical weekend experience

So, it’s V-Day weekend

2014 is the Year of the Horse according to the Chinese Calendar, so let’s giddy up over to some epic shows that you can tell your children about. Hell, you might even be able to tell your kid about that crazy February night in cold ass Brooklyn when he or she was first conceived. Or, […]

Didn’t win a Grammy this week? Yeah, neither did we– unfortunately, we can’t all be Macklemore

Trying to find ways to keep warm this weekend? How ’bout hitting up some sweet shows and having a really hard time choosing which ones? Will you try to squeeze in and finally see Macaulay Culkin’s Pizza themed Velvet Underground cover band (The Pizza Underground) for free on Friday? Or perhaps you wanna get sweaty […]

The weeks go by and the music stays great

Welcome to 2014!  We hope  you’re sticking to your resolutions this year! 2014 will not be like last year, the year before, or the year before that one

This week’s Listening Party focuses on local rockers Zula

Have the post-Halloween blues got you down? Still feeling burnt out from last night’s spooky celebrations? Not a chance! Halloween was just the beginning; the weekend is upon us, so don’t stop now! (Plus, we need to work off all those Reese’s Pieces.) Starting Friday night, keep the festivities going with Grooms, Au Revoir Simone, […]

Remember that “tornado” threat a couple weeks back? Around these parts, the only tornado we witnessed touched ground inside Music Hall of Williamsburg on the night of October 2

CMJ is next week, Columbus Day  is on Monday (F*CK YES!!),  and for all of your pretty faces staying in Bushwick during this sweet three-day weekend, here’s a list of shows you all should go to!
