Earlier this month, Brooklyn Aputumpu, a traveling party and music showcase, put on a show at Shea Stadium featuring SoftSpot, Field Mouse, Osekre & The Lucky Bastards and The Micks

Thursday’s free performances are a great way to show support for emerging local artists!

And they are still accepting vendors and participants for all these events!

The Reel Sisters of the Diaspora Film Festival celebrated 21 years this past weekend in Brooklyn.

New menu items, specialty coffee and juice drinks, and live music are on deck at the Broadway Triangle staple’s Sunday brunch event.

The Ridgewood party is also a fundraiser for Big Big Wednesday, a newish literary magazine.

East Wiliamsburg’s favorite telephone booth-marked speakeasy will host a star-studded, iconic series.

Daylight Savings is upon us, readers. Ah, the feeling of the sky not being pitch-black at 5pm! Life is good. Although we lost an hour, we gained sunlight, and thus, hopefully, we’re all waking from winter hibernation—and weather has been fluctuating as dramatically as Kanye’s daily commentary, which means everyone should be feeling the need to seize the beautiful […]

As predicted, CMJ Festival was a little cray this year – and not just in Brooklyn

This weekend is all about exploring

Last weekend, hoards of Brooklynites (alongside a healthy sprinkling of Tri-Staters) carpooled, camped, Amtrak’ed and Airbnb’ed to the charmingly industrial town of Hudson, NY, the perfect backdrop for Basilica Soundscape

It’s the weekend and there are at least five places you should be

Dust off your Doc Martens and safety pins because things are getting pretty punk this weekend! And its the best kind: local, underground, and in venues that look like east London basements

The winter solstice is coming to Bushwick two days early this year

It’s the time to bow to the Great Pumpkin, the magical goddess of the fall! Get ready for pumpkin carving, pumpkin ale, and pretty much everything else tasting, smelling or looking like pumpkins

Readers, a friendly reminder that you made plans a few weeks ago, remember? You promised to come and celebrate CMJ Bushwick Style at our unofficial showcase tonight at Lot 45

If you’re like us and you loooooove music festivals, you may be quietly shedding tears over the (impending) arrival of fall and the end of festival season

Yes, we know it’s really hot out there–and oddly windy on certain recent nights! But, think back to the winter when we thought we would never sweat again

Still burnt out from Governors Ball last weekend? Sorry, kids; it’s time to do it all again. Starting Thursday, the summer festival fun continues with Northside, a magical, musical journey that traverses all of north Brooklyn, plus the wilds of your imagination.

So, it’s V-Day weekend

Last Friday night, new restaurant 1 Knickerbocker celebrated its official opening night with a party

In a heartfelt introduction to the series, promoters My Socialist and Supercrush Studios expressed their feelings about the arctic blast that’s defined this season: “this Winter is harshing my vibe in a serious way

We’re super proud to announce that this year your favorite blog, ehm us, won’t be missing at CMJ! We have teamed up with the ever incredible The Sky Report Blog and powerhouse Supercrush Studio to bring you an unofficial CMJ showcase of indie and electronic music that’ll be hard to forget

This week children went back to school (yay!), we voted in the primaries for Mayoral candidates of this great city (hey!), honored the sad anniversary of 9/11 (nay), some of us will be fasting for Yom Kippur (oy vey!), and some are anxiously waiting for the next Breaking Bad episode after that very intense episode (amirite?)

If you’re into psychedelic, poetic rock music, you’ll be weak at the knees for our most recent music crush, Rose Windows

Saying we’ve got a music crush on this band is a massive understatement
