Short weeks rule, amirite? And now that Memorial Day has passed and we’re in full early-summertime swing, it’s time to you get going to some concerts! Check out our seven picks for the week, starting tonite!
starlight With New Moon coming up this Saturday, this week is a good time to recenter in mediation (whether it’s sound or coloring meditation you prefer) and reconnect with your community. Check out 10 curated events for Monday to Thursday in the greater Bushwick area. Majority of the events in our newsletter are curated. Each […]
TEDxBushwick conference we announced back in October is getting its final shape
Valentine’s Day – love it or hate it, it’s HERE, and you’ve got plenty of options throughout the weekend
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
It’s cold outside
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
Remember when the Girls took to Bushwick to rage out in a warehouse and (accidentally) smoke crack? Well, that’s not the route we recommend you go this weeken–maybe instead grab a 5-hour energy to get your fix as you hop around art shows by day and hit the rock and roll by night! Not all these shows are tied in with Bushwick Open Studios, but they will all be mega-fun and nothing like the gif above (hopefully?)
Most of us feverishly love or dull-heartedly dread Valentine’s Day
2014 is the Year of the Horse according to the Chinese Calendar, so let’s giddy up over to some epic shows that you can tell your children about. Hell, you might even be able to tell your kid about that crazy February night in cold ass Brooklyn when he or she was first conceived. Or, […]
Didn’t win a Grammy this week? Yeah, neither did we– unfortunately, we can’t all be Macklemore
The weeks go by and the music stays great
While it’s been less than a week since our collective freakout over winter storms named Hercules and vortexes that are polar in nature, many people in the island nation of the Philippines are struggling to put their lives together in the two months since Typhoon Haiyan (otherwise known as Yolanda)
Welcome to 2014! We hope you’re sticking to your resolutions this year! 2014 will not be like last year, the year before, or the year before that one
The weather is warm! The weather is rainy! You wore too many layers! Your shoe has a hole! You want to drown your sorrows! You want to smoke on the back patio but it’s not open! WAH
How does one move forward in life when there is tragedy? Our neighborhood has been struck with

Ok, maybe the title of this post is a bit deceiving as it’s not technically Halloween this weekend. But, when a holiday falls on a measley Thursday night, what are you to do?! Celebrate the weekend before AND the weekend after, of course! This year our calendars are full of pre-Halloween parties, especially on Saturday […]
It’s pretty much felt like fall ever since we pulled those jackets out from the back of our closets sometime in mid-August
Summer’s supposed to be ending
Charlie Benedetti did not always work at a brewery

Summer is peaking, and the week(end) doesn’t end this Thursday, dear friends
This city can put oneself into a tailspin of negativity
We’re constantly astounded by the incredible live music scene here in Bushwick, and we’re having trouble finding creative ways to say so every single Thursday
Who needs Central Park when you have Maria Hernandez Park? Shopping at dollar stores on Knickerbocker Ave, scenic walks on Johnson Ave and romantic counting of rats on the tracks of the L train
37Bushwick Music It’s March already – has the madness begun to sink in yet? We’re not talking basketball, we’re talking pre-SXSW jitters. We already wrote an exciting article about how to do SXSW like a pro for free, but if you still can’t foot the bill (or stomach the atmosphere) there are tons of bands […]
If you layered some jazz basslines, wandering funk harmonies, and modern keys in an indie rock setting, you’d end up with something like the wonderful band Throw Vision
It’s always difficult to decide on the best 5-10 shows to feature for our weekly recommended shows column
