Winter’s coming and awesome shows are still galore. We thought this was the time for musicians to hibernate and work over some crooney creative new material. But lucky for all of the live music-goers in Brooklyn, this isn’t the case! It’s time to rub away any sleepiness as we present the top 8 shows this week, including FREE shows from The Low Anthem and Cocorosie, plus Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival, Teeel, Mean Creek, The Love Supreme and more.
Ghostly electronic artist Com Truise returns, equipment in hand, to his residency at The Paper Box. Alongside him this week is Teeel, who brings his dream-step to the night.
The Love Supreme was born out of an elaborate Diana Ross cover band featuring a brass section, oh, and a male vocalist (hence the name Guyanna Ross). Now they create their own soulful tunes, and they’re expecting you to dance. Drag costumes encouraged.
You love the ocean, right? The whales, dolphins, starfishes and squids? Want to celebrate the ocean and party in an underwater atmosphere? Well, come support the Orca Network in a fanciful party inspired by “the sea, neverland, and all things luminous.” Includes screenprinting, giveaways, a bioluminscent installation and many other oceanic flourishes.
There is hardly anything as pure in this world than freakfolk stars Cocorosie, who actually played a one-off show in Bushwick this past summer. What makes it EVEN BETTER is that it’s free. For reals. Brooklyn Bowl’s School Night series happens every Sunday and features some pretty incredible performers. All you gotta do is RSVP. Warning: these shows tend to start later – headliners are slotted for either 10pm or 11pm.
We are big BEMF fans and this year they’re bringing it harder than ever before, adding a third day full of good stuff. Highlights on the lineup include Todd Terje, Actress, Oneohtrix Point Never, Star Slinger, and about 50 others!
