I find myself on a double narration as I tell my Bushbabies about the story of art ahead of us. From works inspired by the famous musings of authors James Joyce and Dylan Thomas, to pieces that draw literary connections from personal histories and present happenings. You’ll drift off to your dreams as I read […]

SXSW may be fading into our rearview mirror but the hangover that came along with it isn’t

We’re back from Austin, suitcase full of freebies, ears ringing, and working our way through the week-long hangover that was SXSW

Beat Nite 10 boasted an artful evening any art lover would envy

So, the Olympics are over, with the USA ranking 4th in over all medals, but first in Gold medal pranks with another gem from Jimmy Kimmel

This week’s Listening Party features dream pop drippers The Stargazer Lillies

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

Didn’t win a Grammy this week? Yeah, neither did we– unfortunately, we can’t all be Macklemore

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

The weather is warm! The weather is rainy! You wore too many layers! Your shoe has a hole! You want to drown your sorrows! You want to smoke on the back patio but it’s not open! WAH

Ok, maybe the title of this post is a bit deceiving as it’s not technically Halloween this weekend. But, when a holiday falls on a measley Thursday night, what are you to do?! Celebrate the weekend before AND the weekend after, of course! This year our calendars are full of pre-Halloween parties, especially on Saturday […]

A few days ago we posted about the arrival of arguably the world’ most popular “indie” band to our neighborhood

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

Summer’s supposed to be ending

Bushwick is divided between the 34th and the 37th Council districts

Confrontational and jarring, the artists at once built up notions of the beauty of the body and tore them down on Friday during the third weekend in Grace Exhibition Space’s month-long “Climate Change” series, featuring performance artists from all over the world as part of the Brooklyn International Performance Art Festival

Summer is peaking, and the week(end) doesn’t end this Thursday, dear friends

This city can put oneself into a tailspin of negativity

Our dear little Pigeon town (or the land just east of it) is about to receive a massive treat: Cocorosie! The freak-folk musical sensation, who have garnished high praise throughout the past 10 years, are playing a rare one-off show at The PaperBox on May 10 as their only North American date before they embark on a long European tour

This weekend is going to be bonkers

If you’re one of the 200,000 people to descend upon Austin’s city limits to partake in SXSW (and you know how to do it right now), and you want to see some of your favorite Brooklyn/Bushwick bands, you can do so at one of two places – at an official showcase (where festival badges/wristbands ARE required) or at one of the many free shows they will be playing next week

37Bushwick Music It’s March already – has the madness begun to sink in yet? We’re not talking basketball, we’re talking pre-SXSW jitters. We already wrote an exciting article about how to do SXSW like a pro for free, but if you still can’t foot the bill (or stomach the atmosphere) there are tons of bands […]

It’s always difficult to decide on the best 5-10 shows to feature for our weekly recommended shows column
