February 2, 2017 By Chris Quartly

Another week down, another week of depressing Trump-related theocratic idiocy, at least there are a few fun things to do this weekend in amongst the necessary protests and rallies. Thanks to Peter for stepping in last week, I can say that doing a 70-hour working week with a fever is not terribly fun, but is […]

Top 5 Shows of the Weekend

5) Washer, Patio, Doubting Thomas Cruise Control and Spit at Palisades If you’re in the hunt for some good ol’ fashioned indie rock, then Palisades has the show for you this weekend. Washer don’t really sound anything like Slint, but in my mind, they take their name from the hushed Spiderland track of the same […]

It’s March and everything is still horrible, the only question on my mind at the moment is when will the slush puddles become sentient and destroy us all? It’s hard to say, but if we keep feeding them organic matter as more and more New Yorkers succumb to their ambiguous depths it’s only a matter […]

5) Mineral, Into It. Over It. At Bowery Ballroom The whole 90s reunion thing has proven to be a pretty successful booking template over the course of the past 16 months or so, with the likes of My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Slint, and American Football all selling out multi-night stints in and around the tri-state.

Two great bands playing Brooklyn Night Bazaar this weekend

December 17, 2013 By Free Williamsburg

Saturday will be a good time to finish up your holiday shopping. You can reward yourself when you’re done at the Brooklyn Night Bazaar with two really fun bands: So So Glos and California X. The So Sos are a Brooklyn staple and their live shows are always fantastic. California X released their tragically underrated […]
