Seven may or may not be your lucky number– either way we’ve got seven shows for you to wiggle into your weekend plans

You know what? I’m all out of jokes

At CMJ, camaraderie is contagious

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

  Next Sunday, a man from Ridgewood will throw the first ever

Last weekend a crew of Brooklynites hoofed it approximately 2

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. Each hand-picked Listening Party artist has an upcoming show at a local NYC venue. Grab your headphones and read on. Upright Behavior by […]

It’s that time again! America’s Birthday; another great reason to have outdoor shows, BBQ everything in sight and celebrate for the entire four days whether or not you have any patriotism in your bones

Sh-sh-shaking, I’m

Just hangin’ at The Neverlands. “Because it’s Northside!” More or less, the phrase became a mantra of sorts over this past weekend, when the multi-venue Northside Festival enveloped Brooklyn for the sixth year in a row. As I, Loren, your trusty narrator, chased bands around Williamsburg, Bushwick, and everywhere in between, the sentence was repeated […]

Three BD music writers voyaged to SXSW, took a bunch of gorgeous photos, and documented three very different experiences while down there

  We know what you are thinking. It’s SXSW week and Brooklyn is going to be dead because all the good bands will be gone. FALSE. Some bands are coming here! And others are staying here because Brooklyn is also awesome! Don’t get down and out about it, there are plenty of DIY venues to […]

Ladies and gents of Bushwick, it’s all happening

Get ready, because this weekend is about to get fabulous! We have 10 ass-kicking shows for you to choose from for an enhanced musical weekend experience

Most of us feverishly love or dull-heartedly dread Valentine’s Day

This week’s Listening Party features Brooklyn psych-pop quintet Snowmine and their upcoming show  next Thursday at Glasslands

This week’s Friday First is an exclusive stream of Bushwick rock’n’roll ragers The Nuclears‘ brand new LP, This is How We Party, hitting stands January 28th. The Nuclears are referred to as “New York City’s primo beer-chugging, sci-fi-referencing, leather-jacket-wearing rock & roll band” for good reason; their long-awaited new album is a joyous rollercoaster of a […]

Going home for the Holidays always seems like a good idea

Every cocktail acknowledges the history of classic cocktails that have come before it

Haven’t left for the holidays yet? Staying in town for the strangely warm holiday week ahead? Thank goodness! There’s a long list of great shows to choose from this weekend

Only three weeks in advance of one of the world’s largest contemporary art fairs, Bushwick-based nightlife and fashion icons Ms

This week’s Listening Party focuses on orchestral drone band Stars of The Lid, who will be performing their first concert in five years next week in a Brooklyn Basilica

Best of 2013 Music lists couldn’t be more pretentious, and yet we still scour them looking for top releases we may have somehow missed

It’s pretty much felt like fall ever since we pulled those jackets out from the back of our closets sometime in mid-August

Back-to-School? Pshhh

Because at Bushwick Daily we are all about keeping our eyes out for fun, unique, and high-quality experiences that are worth your precious time, we’ve curated a September “to-do list” featuring all sorts of recommendations from the Bushwick Daily crew

Looking to get out of town this weekend? Local music, art and community organization, our beloved Silent Barn is putting on a festival of games, installations, and performances in strange and beautiful places this weekend upstate

We’ve always raved about the times we’ve had thanks to Brooklyn-based underground party organization, BangOn! On New Years, they filled a warehouse with a carousel ride, glow art installations, and a DJ set from Yeasayer, and more recently they hosted the 3-D festival which was mind-bogglingly trippy

you know you want to. It’s officially summer as we’ve all come to realize. There are pluses and minuses for concert goers when summertime rolls around. Cons: venues are even sweatier, sidewalks and rooftops are more crowded, smoke clings to the skin in heat, fresh air is no less fresh when shared. Pros: free outdoor shows, […]

This weekend is going to be bonkers

It may seem like quite a while ago at this point but the world’s best indie festival, South By Southwest, was just a few weeks past, March 12-16, and everyone in the music industry will continue to feel its repercussions all year, especially those from Brooklyn! From the bands that made it big to those that seemed to crash and burn, everyone who attended took away some great musical memories, including Bushwick Daily! We had three writers (Danielle Thompson, Ileana Little, and yours truly) hanging out in Austin, snapping instagrams, taking notes, and absorbing everything we heard

You just realized it’s Friday and you’re wondering what to do tonight

Happy Valentine’s Day, Bushwick! Whether you’re in love or single at the moment, we love you!! And that’s why Bushwick Daily contributors got together and created this super awesome Valentine’s Day playlist! So just sit back, hit play and get ready for a variety of emotions

jojo‘s Mixtape- Drum Along! This week’s mix contains African tracks, selected for their captivating groove and rhythm elements.  I drum along to these tracks to practice djembe, sing along, and dance around.  The key ingredient is the pulsing repetition that draws us to move or express, the patterns we hear that repeat and invite us […]
