We can pretty much all agree: 2014 was an incredible year in music

In a neighborhood whose nightlife scene is almost aestheticized to the point where a boob-themed bar feels totally white bread, it was a thrill to spend time in a bare bones straight up all-about-the-music hard rock venue that feels at once both casual and charged with a music lovers energy

You know what? I’m all out of jokes

It’s not necessarily the worst outside yet, but it’s not fun

Thanksgiving is a time to say thanks, and we may have already shouted out 101 reasons we’re thankful we live in Bushwick, but we’d like to extend that gratitude to ALL the musicians and ALL the venues that are keeping up programming during Thanksgiving. Truly, from the bottom of our cholesterol-brimmed hearts, you RULE. Now […]

HIGH FIVE, it’s the weekend

When you’re tak’in photos for Bushwick Daily, you know you’re gonna read Bushwick Daily and that’s exactly what I did

Our dear friends over at  epic 12-piece funk and soul band The Love Supreme have been up to a lot of great things lately, including a bangin’ CMJ performance, studio time to shape up their first LP, and now, filming their debut music video! And guess what?  They want YOU to be part of the fun

It’s cold outside

Shake it off, commands New York City’s “Global Welcome Ambassador for Tourism,” the completely manufactured Tay Swift

You won’t have to travel too far this weekend to get a dose of some international music. This weekend, Goodbye Blue Monday will be one of the hosting venues for Tazigen Festival Volume 2: NYC, a Japanese Independent Music Festival that first took place last January in Koenji, Tokyo. For one weekend only, both Japan […]

Everyone wants to know what’s happening this Halloween; where are the best cover shows? Where can we wear our glow in the dark skeleton unitards? Where are the spooky dance parties at? Well, look no further; Bushwick Daily has got you covered on all of the above and more! Check out the best Bushwick/ Williamsburg […]

At CMJ, camaraderie is contagious

Readers, a friendly reminder that you made plans a few weeks ago, remember? You promised to come and celebrate CMJ Bushwick Style at our unofficial showcase tonight at Lot 45

CMJ only seems like a drag if a) you’re in a band that’s playing 3+ shows; b) you don’t know how to navigate the madness

We hope you are all as jazzed about CMJ as we are! The festival is the College Music Journal’s “Music Marathon”- a completely amazing (and exhausting) week (October 21-25, 2014) of live music, giving the music community a chance to catch the best new artists from around the world before they blow up

Get swept away this weekend with a whole lotta great shows this weekend in Bushwick and beyond! This week we’ve got house parties, disco dancing, spookfolk concerts, and Escape Festival going down on Governor’s Island!

For the second year in a row, we are stoked to announce an unofficial CMJ showcase with Out In The Streets! This year’s party will take place on Thursday, October 23rd at Lot 45 with a killer lineup of local talent and well as some imports including Rioux, Fort Lean, Zula, Yawn, Seoul, and more! Come party with us to experience the CMJ Music Marathon from the comfort of your own hood

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

Even if you’re never really trying to look your “best,” you’re most likely trying to look something if you live in Brooklyn in this day and age

Last weekend a crew of Brooklynites hoofed it approximately 2

Whoa, holy crap- we know new music is spreading through Bushwick like bedbugs on the MTA (too soon?), but leave it to VICE’s music subsidiary Noisey’s Motherboard to expose the world to some of the coolest music making we’ve seen in Bushwick! On a tour with host (and local musician from Friends, Blood Orange) Samantha Urbani, we met “techo-collagist” and interactive sound artist Adriano Clemente (and his Bushwick neighbors, one of whom is a professional conga player)

If this headline freaked you out, take it easy: you still have over two months to work on your Halloween costume

While in the dog days of summer it’s tempting to feel incredibly burned out by sun, booze, and an overload of summer shows, think back. Way back. To 2005 in fact. When you belted out All American Rejects lyrics guilt free in the shower. When Tyson Ritter told you to move along, you jumped. For Fun. For Freedom. To […]

This past weekend (July 26- 27), Out In The Streets Festival returned to the historic Onderdonk House on Flushing Avenue in Ridgewood

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

We hope you aren’t tired of summer festivals yet because this one is also not to be missed! Last year, Out In the Streets included a stellar lineup with Turnip King, Wild Yaks, and Pictureplane and this weekend get ready for another awesome lineup of music with headliners including A Place to Bury Strangers, Body Language, Hunters, as well as Memphis’ Cities Aviv! Bird Dog Productions, The Sky Report, and Supercrush Studio have teamed up to put on this festival at the Onderdonk house in Ridgewood for the second year, and promise us music, art and food! YES!

Did you make it out to the 1

It may seem as though we are always making it look like there is endless music out there over the weekend, (which typically there is, we swear)

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

This week’s Listening Party features the Brooklyn-born band Landlady and their upcoming show/album release party next Tuesday at Baby’s All Right. Listening Party is a weekly column promoting music discovery and encouraging concert-going.
