Homegrown exhibit: Pitchfork Music Festival at its 13th year

The days of packing my camping gear into a car full of friends and heading out to music festivals are coming to an end for me. Terrifying is the thought of wandering around from stage to stage in the summer heat, juggling half-sets of “must-see” bands, all while trying to keep track of my friends […]

Food For Thought: Pitchfork Music Festival 2014

July 28, 2014 By bigasslens

The trend in music festivals these days seems to be “all you can eat”. A hungry fan shopping for an experience would be pleased to see a former Beatle playing alongside a long broken-up, and now-reunited rap crew from the 90s. If your tastes are more progressive, here are 30 bands that you’ve never heard […]

The Electric Zoo 2012 Survival Guide

August 28, 2012 By bigasslens

We are only days away from the biggest electronic music festival in New York, and there aren’t enough fistpumps in the world that could make us more excited for it.

Dispatches From The Governor's Ball

June 25, 2012 By bigasslens

Note: a version of this piece first appeared on Big Ass Lens, Sunday, June 24th. Though the text is reprinted in its entirety, the gallery presented here contains photos that differ from the original posting.

April 13, 2012 By bigasslens

Brooklyn via Princeton avante-rockers Miracles of Modern Science perform their song “Friend of the Animals” live at Spaceman Sound in Greenpoint. From Vice: Considering their ambiguous lack of modern instrumentation, Miracles of Modern Science (AKA MOMS) could more aptly be described as miracles of classical science. The most expected piece of gear in MOMS’ set […]

Got some free shit for you to do tomorrow

August 12, 2011 By bigasslens

For a site called FreeWilliamsburg, there sure isn’t a lot of actual free shit. Come to think of it, Williamsburg in general is lacking in the free shit. Ever since the pool parties ended, Willy has gotten stingy. Last time I got something decent for free in Williamsburg was the time they had a free […]
