Plus, the best shows in Bushwick this week

Korean K9 Rescue aims to teach Bushwick residents about the trade, and also hopefully send a few fur babies to the right homes.

The quartet had a big 2019 and shows no signs of slowing down on their first official release.

The project of songwriter Mia Berrin dropped their second EP last month, and its jam-packed with intensely personal, grunge-punk anthems.

The Bushwick artist captured the neighborhood in her song, which is part of a larger mixtape named Project 10.

Northside Festival came and went this past week, along Saturday’s stifling hot weather

Local indie rockers Parquet Courts delighted their Bushwick fans this week by teasing their upcoming album with a merchandise vending machine, which dispenses art promoting the album, outside of the Wyckoff Starr

Whether you love it or hate it, the Hallmark holiday is indeed this Sunday: Valentine’s Day, The day of bodega flowers, Fine and Raw Chocolate, and those couples blowing up your Facebook feed professing their love for each other (“#blessed!!”)

The snow has (mostly) melted, the groundhog saw its shadow and Daylight Savings is almost a month away

It truly has been a mild winter so far. A few cold spells – but for the most part we shouldn’t complain. Even so, we’ve all been there – a Friday night in January … contemplating whether to ‘brace the elements’ or to binge-watch the entire Making of a Murderer series. Although the latter is […]

CMJ festival is the music lover’s mid-fall holiday

Just in case you thought summer was over, tomorrow we’re reaching highs of 81 degrees and partying at the beach with a whole bunch of indie babes. Plus, there are four other great concerts happening this weekend in Bushwick. I know there’s gonna be good times…! #5 Outlier Recordings Five Year Anniversary featuring Woulg // Matas // Oddlogic […]

Oi, we’ve got the August blues

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

Now that the new year is in full swing, we’re ready to get back to the normal show/DJ/DIY/party grind

Are there any underground parties left in Bushwick? Sure there are! Crème de la crème of NYC electronic music may be hidden from the all seeing eyes of the Internets but it is thriving! Promoters, DJs and collectives are throwing parties, access to some of which may require patience on the side of a newbie but it is totally worth it

Do as we say and you’ll have a great weekend, full of unexpected performances at no or little damage to your wallet

In case you were unaware of this gem, David Bowie and Mick Jagger covered “Dancing in the Streets,” back in their hay day, and it seems pretty representative of what everyone should do this weekend

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

Just hangin’ at The Neverlands. “Because it’s Northside!” More or less, the phrase became a mantra of sorts over this past weekend, when the multi-venue Northside Festival enveloped Brooklyn for the sixth year in a row. As I, Loren, your trusty narrator, chased bands around Williamsburg, Bushwick, and everywhere in between, the sentence was repeated […]

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. It’s a neverending story of awesome shows, both official and unofficial, so no […]

This week’s Friday First features the exclusive premiere of “Soft Words” from New York indie rock group Stargazy and their second EP The Fashion, out May 27th

From celebrating Passover to remembering that’s it’s Easter to rejoicing that spring has finally arrived and then having snow /hail/sleet in the middle of the week, we all need a little break this weekend. Luck for us, it’s the most important holiday of all: 4/20. And let’s not forget Record Store Day precedes it groovily […]

This week’s Listening Party features the Swedish synth-pop of I Break Horses and their upcoming shows in NYC

Haven’t left for the holidays yet? Staying in town for the strangely warm holiday week ahead? Thank goodness! There’s a long list of great shows to choose from this weekend

The weather is warm! The weather is rainy! You wore too many layers! Your shoe has a hole! You want to drown your sorrows! You want to smoke on the back patio but it’s not open! WAH

This week’s Listening Party focuses on Australian band Jagwar Ma

This city can put oneself into a tailspin of negativity

A Brooklyn group plots a mural on Wyckoff Avenue

The hipster houdinis take over a local bar spot with some drinks up their sleeve. Could do with more of those.

A postage-stamp sized deli on Knickerbocker calls itself Bushwick’s first all-vegan grocery.
