Another week, another exciting excuse to spend your money on a fleeting, aural experience! But hey, at least tickets are cheaper than drugs. Unless you also buy drugs to take before the show… This week’s post introduces a new feature: WORTH SCALPING, which is a run-down of this week’s sold out shows that are worth […]
Music to See and Tickets to Buy This Week: 4/29-5/5
I have a perfectly acceptable explanation for why this post is late (and only half-finished for the moment): yesterday I got an excellent deal on a butcher block-top table through CraigsList that I just couldn’t pass up. To celebrate my new furniture addition I drank too much wine, and forgot to finish this post. You understand, […]
Music to See and Tickets to Buy This Week: 4/22-4/28
Another edition of shows worthy of your time, tickets worthy of your hard-earned cash and completely made-up words used to describe them. At least there are some things you can count on in this life. ON SALE: 4/22 @ 12:00p: The words we’ve all been waiting to hear since the band popped up on summer […]
Tomorrow: Record Store Day!
Saturday is the 4th Annual Record Store Day! Give thanks to that fragile black disc and the (dwindling amount of) shops that champion it by getting up extra early and waiting in line to look through stacks of music before leaving without buying anything. I kid, I kid! Seriously, you should buy at least one […]
Music to see this week: 4/15 – 4/21
It’s quality over quantity this week, my friends, which is much easier on my agoraphobia. Phew. THIS WEEK: 4/15: Soak up the feeble Spring sun and pretend you’re all smarty pants at Barnard College’s day-long “WBAR-B-Q” with free food and free tunes from Real Estate, Beige and DFA’s The Crystal Ark. More info here. 4/15: […]
Music to see & tickets to buy this week: 4/8 – 4/14
It’s that time of year again. Can you smell it in the air? That’s right: outdoor concert season is on the horizon, and tickets are going on sale! So count your pennies and keep an eye on FreeWilly for upcoming show deets. Otherwise you run the risk of sitting like a pasty loser in the […]
Music to see this week: 4/2 – 4/7
Better late than never, right? Besides whatever bands were playing on Friday probably sucked anyway. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Now, without further ado, a completely biased calendar of this week’s concerts. 4/2: JEFF The Brotherhood want to shred all over you (ew) tonight at Death By Audio. Just let ‘em. With […]
Music to see this week: 3/25-3/31
After a long absence, in which I amassed both a busy day job and a broken wrist, your weekly run-down of concerts that are worth a damn has returned to FreeWilly. Now you can be generally clued into the Brooklyn music scene and of interest to talk to at parties. You’re welcome. Upcoming Shows: 3/25 […]
Jeff Mangum to play ATP
The next ATP is moving from Monticello to the decidedly less esoteric shores of Asbury Park. Beyond a shorter commute and cheaper accommodations (read: free — I’m from the area and my parents still live there. Score!), this year’s fest, running September 30-October 2, also affords the rare chance to see Jeff Mangum. The reclusive head of […]
MUSIC TO SEE & TICKETS TO BUY THIS WEEK: 12/17-12/24
Due to overwhelming, popular demand (shout outs to Amanda and Anonymous Poster!) here’s another completely biased rundown of concerts worth going to in the next seven days. Pick up my slack and add any I’ve missed in the comments or shoot me an email at [email protected] This Week: 12/17: Bear Hands, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. and The […]
