Vice is taking over Wburg venue Villian for branding events and “activations for advertising clients”

Evidently no club is safe in Williamsburg. Vice already killed Death by Audio and Glasslands. Now, they’re taking over Villian.  Announcing the acquisition during its NewFronts presentation Friday afternoon, Vice is putting a greater emphasis on its ability to produce live events and activations for advertising clients. The company is no stranger to hosting events […]

First look: Elsewhere the 24,000 square foot music venue by the Glasslands team is set to debut this November

The Brooklyn music gods behind Glasslands and Popgun Presents are set to debut their new 24,000 sq.ft. Bushwick music venue known as Elsewhere. The space is located at 599 Johnson Ave right off the Jefferson stop. I got to tour the venue recently and was very impressed with comprehensiveness of the space. There is a […]

Former Glasslands owners opening $3 million venue in Bushwick called Elsewhere

June 30, 2016 By Robert Lanham

Now this is big news. Elsewhere is set to open this fall: When Glasslands Gallery, the influential independent club on the Williamsburg waterfront in Brooklyn, closed at the end of 2014, its owners had already been thinking about what was next. The partners — Rami Haykal, 28, and Jake Rosenthal, 29 — had booked shows […]

Dance Party Funeral for Williamsburg coming to Glasslands

November 17, 2014 By Robert Lanham

With the closings of Glasslands and Death By Audio coming soon (not to mention this, this, this , this and this) Williamsburg is feeling pretty gutted these days. Appropriately, the artist collective Cheryl is throwing a funeral dance party to “celebrate” all the closings called “Nail in the Coffin.” They’re encouraging people to come dressed […]

285 Kent booker/manager on Vice Media and the closing of Williamsburg's clubs

October 23, 2014 By Robert Lanham

It’s no secret that Vice Media is expanding and soon will take over every part of South Williamsburg not owned by or J Crew or Two Trees. Still, the owners of the clubs that have been displaced by Vice (Death By Audio, Glasslands, 285 Kent) have been very tight-lipped about why they are shuttering. We reached […]

Live Review: La Hell Gang played Glasslands

October 20, 2014 By Chris Quartly

La Hell Gang recently signed to Brooklyn’s Mexican Summer label and played their first ever US show on Wednesday night at Glasslands. Having followed Chilean pyschedelic rock extensively over the last couple of years, it is always a rare but essential opportunity when a band rolls in to town. Given that La Hell Gang’s new album, Thru Me […]

Interview: The Fresh & Onlys

July 18, 2014 By Peter Rittweger

 Tim Cohen has dabbled in garage rock, neo-psych, post-punk, folk and even black metal in his decade-plus spanning career, most notably as the frontman of The Fresh & Onlys. So, I wasn’t too surprised that they re-invented the wheel again on their latest offering, “House of Spirits” which was released earlier this year on Mexican […]
