The hottest inclusive dance parties in Bushwick.

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

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

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 write from a land far away, in Austin, TX, and far too late and far too many free beverages into the night

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

For the very reasonable price of $3 for a ticket, you can enjoy Anderson’s sweet, bizarre films in the AC at Syndicated all week long!

Bushwick’s DIY music scene gets a lot of hype—but one local space is offering musicians with more formal training a place to collaborate, play, and perform

The snow has (mostly) melted, the groundhog saw its shadow and Daylight Savings is almost a month away

Once upon a time (in 2008 to be precise), three friends decided to open a restaurant in Bushwick (ok, it was actually in East Williamsburg, but go explain that in Manhattan)

The owners of 56 Bogart gallery and artist studio building aka The BogArt, Ted and Marianne Hovivian are developing another mixed-use artists’ work space at 13 Grattan St

Lately I’ve been drawn to the progression of new murals at the Flushing Ave and Forrest Street triangle, where a new restaurant, a brain child of nearby eatery 983 Bushwick’s Living Room, is up and coming in the Fall

I found out that a lot of Bushwick art people were going down to Miami last week, and I know this sounds crazy, but I felt like it was up to me to see that nothing bad happened to them

This week the contemporary New York art world glitterati flocks to Miami, and Bushwick is in perfect step

Bushwick and the rest of the city came out in full force for last Friday’s Beat Nite: All-Stars Edition
