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 […]

Fragments of my identity emerge to create a visual narrative heavy with cultural idiosyncrasies, sexuality and a yearning for opulence and magic” Martin explains.The multi-faceted works’ biggest strength comes in their ability to be read in multiple ways and reflect back on […]

The Bushwick Art Crit Group (BACG) celebrated its 1 year anniversary in March where we saw brave ranges in sculpture and politics, photography and poetry, painting and erotica, and more. One artist impressed us with a combination of seriousness and playfulness, while another bravely revealed just how much goes on underneath the (canvas) surface.  An inquisitive […]

Everything seems to be going full speed in life lately. The days are longer, but they go by faster and there’s more to be done. Ferris Bueller said it right when he quipped, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” So, taking heed […]

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

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, […]

The Bushwick art scene has been atwitter lately with more people than ever coming to the neighborhood to see what the hype is about

If you’re into psychedelic, poetic rock music, you’ll be weak at the knees for our most recent music crush, Rose Windows

What could possibly be better than an ice cold beer, especially in this sticky sweaty sweltering summer heat? How about

Well, kids, it is officially May which, for me, stands for margaritas, wearing white and, of course, Bushwick Open Studios! While this event is still a few weeks away, the galleries are already getting ready for it and the neighborhood is literally buzzing with activity
