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!

Summer in NYC means a whole lot of free concerts, and one of the highlights of this writer’s year- 4knots Festival

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

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?)

Oh yeah, Ridgewood residents! Do you remember that intriguing yet lonely corner on Stanhope St and Cypress Ave? It used to say Cypress Inn with a large BAR sign but only ghost bartenders were pouring drinks to their ghostly guests

After The Polar Vortex and storm Hercules, we now find ourselves in a period of calm and storm-free weather

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

CMJ has come and gone in a fury of five booze-fueled days

Brace yourselves, kids

Mominette, the French bistro on Knickerbocker Ave, has wisely decided to capitalize on the weird, vibrant energy that pervades that section of the block by introducing a Tuesday night Jazz Jam

Tough days demand a good glass of wine, football days wouldn’t turn into football nights without beer, and if you’re having a truly exceptional night, you need a Kiss & Tell from Heavy Woods

Faust gave his soul to the devil for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures, and jazz musicians have been known to broach deals with the devil in exchange for divine skills

Neither man nor woman can live solely in Bushwick

This past Saturday and for the fourth year running, the Bushwick Block Party took over Morgantown’s Moore Street for a free afternoon and evening of music, skateboarding, dancing, food trucks, drinking and other sweaty fun

This city can put oneself into a tailspin of negativity

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

We’re not sure if anyone from Bushwick will ever make it to heaven, but one thing we can say for sure – praying is a lot easier with The Pains of Being Pure at Heart rocking at the church

It’a about time that something BIZARRE opens in our quixotic neighborhood

I got into this band by accident – A happy, lovely accident
