Time flies, summer sizzles, and the F-bomb has been on the tongues of a lot of babes lately

, held this past weekend at the historic

Hot sun, factories, endless concrete

With a tagline of “Probably Brooklyn’s Best Music Festival,” Gigawatts organizers, the team behind bi-monthly music magazine 1.21 Gigawatts, are not so humble about the quality of their event- and for good reason! The lineup in completely bangin’, featuring the best of the punk, rock, garage- and even pop and rap!- scenes from Brooklyn and beyond. […]

ERMAHGERD

It’s the weekend and there are at least five places you should be

Have you walked past that closed down bar in Ridgewood on Harman St and Seneca Ave with the crazy neon signs and the blacked out windows thinking someone needs to do something with this place? You will thrilled to learn that hey, someone’s doing something with this place! Ridgewood resident, bartendress, and musician Laura Regan is fulfilling a longtime dream to finally open her own venue

Music may enrich our memories of a time and place, but at festivals, it only tells half the story; the only real constant are the attendees

Almost a year ago, we enjoyed Governors Ball’s joyous return after a 2013 monsoon washout

Despite today’s slight drop in the summer temperatures, no one can deny summer with its smells, taste and lovely activities

Dust off your Doc Martens and safety pins because things are getting pretty punk this weekend! And its the best kind: local, underground, and in venues that look like east London basements

And you thought that Bushwick has it all

It’s cold outside

Are there any underground parties left in Bushwick? Sure there are! Crème de la crème of NYC electronic music may be hidden from the all seeing eyes of the Internets but it is thriving! Promoters, DJs and collectives are throwing parties, access to some of which may require patience on the side of a newbie but it is totally worth it

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!

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

It’s nearing the end of August, and dang

Torrential Downpour of Laughter_Brooklyn Comedy Festival Poster_Geoff Pomella We’re all in need for some laughs lately; The world seems to be falling apart in many different ways. On the lighter side, there will always be laughter to brighten our days, and thankfully the Second Annual Brooklyn Comedy Festival starts today! The BCF was founded and organized by performers and producers […]

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

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)

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

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

Last year we fawned over local festival Out In The Streets, which spanned two fantastic days of music, food, art, drinks, dancing, hula hooping (see this video for a demonstration by yours truly), and overall good vibes

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 […]

The sun is out and you should be too this Saturday, June 21st, for an amazing FREE one-day festival called Make Music New York

Still burnt out from Governors Ball last weekend? Sorry, kids; it’s time to do it all again. Starting Thursday, the summer festival fun continues with Northside, a magical, musical journey that traverses all of north Brooklyn, plus the wilds of your imagination. It’s a neverending story of awesome shows, both official and unofficial, so no […]
