What’s UP 2015, where the new fresh, new #DIY lives, where’s we wipe away Brooklyn’s 2014 losses and look only onward to where the grass is just starting to grow. Start the year out the best way you know how- by supporting live music and expanding your mind, man. Here are 5 fresh AND clean shows in the hood this weekend!

#5  DJ MR TWIN SISTER / DJ ISN’T OURS @ ALAKSA (SAT 9:30PM, $FREE)

Special guests Mr. Twin Sister spin some tunes for this guy Bryan’s bday. Everyone is invited, regardless of whether you’re his homie.

#4 Bellows, Sharpless, Yes Yes A Thousand Times Yes, Fern Mayo @ Aviv (FRI 8PM, $7)

Come hear some heartbreakingly beautiful tunes from Brooklyn’s own glo-fi band Bellows with excellent support from Chicago’s similarly emotional Sharpless.

#2 Restorations, Creepoid, The Yum Dee Days @ Brooklyn Night Bazaar

Badass rough rockers Restorations headline this free show while personal faves Creepoid get you feeling something deep and dark. Plus pizza, pinball, golf, vendors, and all the other cool stuff at the bazaar.

#1 Emperor X // Eskimeaux // Legs Like Tree Trunks // Family Lumber @ Palisades (SAT 8pm, $8)
