Earlier this month, Brooklyn Aputumpu, a traveling party and music showcase, put on a show at Shea Stadium featuring SoftSpot, Field Mouse, Osekre & The Lucky Bastards and The Micks

Hi name is Ishmael Osekre, and he has a history.

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

Counting down to the weekend can be brutal… but not when you live in Brooklyn, surrounded by vibrant youth (and lots of booze)… the party starts on Thursday! Here are your top 6 options for music this weekend, starting NOW! #6 Aputumpu Festival / Saul Wiliams, Osekre & The Lucky Bastards, Patrice, more @ Le Poisson […]

If you’re like us and you loooooove music festivals, you may be quietly shedding tears over the (impending) arrival of fall and the end of festival season

This week children went back to school (yay!), we voted in the primaries for Mayoral candidates of this great city (hey!), honored the sad anniversary of 9/11 (nay), some of us will be fasting for Yom Kippur (oy vey!), and some are anxiously waiting for the next Breaking Bad episode after that very intense episode (amirite?)

The past two weeks have tested our strengths, our limits, and our air conditioners

Sometimes by the time the end of the week rolls around, you want to get it

Drums + Guitar/Bass/Other +/- vocals  = Music = Head-bobbing –> Dancing –> Total Happiness

Apparently there’s some huge snowstorm heading our way, but don’t let that stop you from trudging through the snow to see some great shows this weekend

For some reason, December is the month for shows
