#2 Allah Las, Spires @ Rough Trade (FRI 9PM, POSTPONED)
We f*cking love these two bands, both of whom we have featured on our website (see Bushwick Music Crush Allah Las and Listening Party Spires). Soooorrry to rub it in – because this show is SOLD OUT. Update: this show, like all others at Rough Trade, has been postponed or cancelled. Well, howdy do da.
#1 Slowdance, Grand Resort, Las Rosas @ Radio Bushwick (SAT 9PM, FREE)
This venue’s best offering yet! Three excellent Brooklyn rock bands doing their thing in the brand spanking new awesomeness that is Radio Bushwick. The bill’s highlight? Our personal fave Las Rosas who played our own Holy Smokes! Festival in September. Don’t miss it if you’re in the neighborhood.
