This time next week, it’ll be fucking CHRISTMAS–How insane is that?! If you haven’t finished (or even started) your Xmas shopping we’d like to share five small gifts with you. You can keep them for yourself, or you can gift a friend a show this weekend. Bring a friend, pay for each other’s admission, get the other a drink of their choice, and consider your gift given. We know, it’s a genius way to celebrate while keeping it cheap AND enjoying the best music. Consider us Santa Claus of the Bushwick music scene…
