We know time machines don’t exist yet

A bar? A venue? A… backyard? The simplicity behind Nowadays, the new outdoor space off the Halsey L on Ridgewood-Bushwick border, means it can be all that and more. All winter this California girl dreamt about summer, and now, it’s finally arrived. As it turns out, my dreams of BBQs and beach days, short shorts and […]

Bushwick’s reputation as a artistic boob haven is about to get another boost this Sunday: Brooklyn’s favorite titty-bar is going to put on a variety show featuring the very best of New York’s burlesque and vocal talent, Pumps employees

Maybe it’s the promise of a female president or a little princess across the pond, but this weekend’s shows are definitely for the ladies

If you ever doubted that skateboard is also a piece of art, new collection of Girl Skateboards will change your mind

It’s hard to figure out what’s more impressive about the new technology-inflected dance work, BODSOFTWARE, which debuted at gallery space

You know what? I’m all out of jokes

Winter’s bearing down on us, and everyone’s already battening down the hatches and getting ready to cuddle up against the cold

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

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

A spectacular fan routine. Two hot days and nights of heavy drinking, nipples, genitals, a wedding, drugs, sweaty wigs, lip syncing, heavy beats, hardcore rifts and exuberant dancing. It was two nights of Bushwig this year and anything less would have taken the joy out of life. On Saturday the 6th, right in the middle of […]

People often say that fall is bitter sweet

It’s nearing the end of August, and dang

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!

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.

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

After

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?)

If you’re like us, you want the weekend to arrive promptly and loudly. Lucky for you, we know where all the parties are at! Check out the top 10 concerts we’ve rounded up this weekend, including a free “barn burner,” a Bangon! Party, Hardcore Fest at The Knockdown center, a Sunday night chillout show, and […]

Hurray! A new month is upon us, and hopefully it will finally bring beautiful days and long nights filled with rooftop parties, bbqs, and of course, gallery openings!
