Burning is a live film that was shot in early 2009 over the course of Mogwai‘s 3 sold out nights at Music Hall of Williamsburg by Nathanaël La Souanec and Vincent Moon, best known for La Blogotheque’s stunning Take Away Shows. There will be a screening of the film at the same venue it was […]
Sunday Funday at the Waterfront
We all agree that the Pool Parties have become kind of a bummer. Ok, so they’re still pretty fun but seriously lacking that special Jelly flavor that was recently replaced by rules, regulations, and the fear that a slip ‘n slide is way too dangerous. That said, we’re on our way now because Future Islands […]
Don't Have Plans Tonight? Now You Do…
Dust Congress show at Lulu's
My favorite Texas-based band storms through Lulu’s tonight for FREE. They call their sound depressive realism and their next album is called “Open Your Eyes, The World is Shit” but you don’t have a trumpeter in your band and be all bad news. WHO: Shiny Around the Edges + Dust Congress WHERE: Lulu’s 113 Franklin […]
Summerscreen TONIGHT: Point Break with Total Slacker and Red Romans
Yep, that’s right– we’re trying to tell you the FBI is gonna pay you to learn how to surf. Starting at 6pm tonight, there will be tons of foods (hence the floating lobster rolls to our left) and music by Total Slacker and a band you might not have heard of yet, but let me […]
Ticket Giveaway: The Hazy Drone of Soars at Glasslands
Hailing from noise and experimental haven Leigh Valley, PA, Soars is awash with a beautiful sadness, captured eloquently by the hazy floating vocal of who most will assume is Briana Edwards. But the band is having fun with this for now, and haven’t confirmed their lead singer just yet as a sort of social experiment […]
Ticket Giveaway: Maps & Atlases at the Knitting Factory
In support of their recently released debut album, Maps & Atlases will be playing two shows in NYC this week– the first on Thursday at Mercury Lounge and then at Brooklyn’s Knitting Factory on Friday. We have a pair of tickets for y’all but more on that in a bit… Perch Patchwork is a stunning […]
Williamsburg Bridge Taqueria
We ‘re super excited for the Temporary Taqueria preview happening in two weeks under the Williamsburg Bridge. Tacos made from local ingredients, greens from rooftop farmers, coffee from Blue Bottle, chocolate from Mast Brothers, and specials on beer! There’s nothing more that we want…other than turning the temporary status into permanent. Tickets are $8, buy […]
Win a ZipCar, Drive to Solid Sound Festival
Ok, so you only win the ZipCar for the weekend, and you’ve gotta figure out where to stay when you get to North Adams, MA, but it’s still a pretty sweet deal. Summertime road tripping is where its at, especially when Wilco, Mountain Man, and Avi Buffalo (to name a few) are your final destination. […]
Ticket Giveaway: Wild Beasts at Highline Ballroom
On August 1st, Domino Records released the newest 10″ from UK’s Wild Beasts and we haven’t been able to stop humming “We Still Got The Taste Dancin’ On Our Tongues” since. The band’s untamed lyrical progression matched with foot tapping melodies makes for perfect put your makeup on music– the kind of tracks you’ll want […]
