October 8, 2019 By Robert Lanham

Greenpoint’s Brooklyn Bazaar is closing (again) in November

This is not a huge surprise, given their troubled history with their landlord, but this really sucks. Brooklyn Bazaar has a handful of shows and events slotted before they shutdown on November 30, so be sure to swing by and give them some love. WE’RE OUT (AGAIN) After 3 years and thousands of shows, events, […]

I miss Monkeytown

March 20, 2018 By Josh Morrissey

I miss Monkeytown

What was Monkeytown you ask? Monkeytown at its essense was space inside a cube (made of four large projection screens) that featured film, dining, music, and other art performances. Created by Montgomery Knott, it began in a loft space at 222 Leonard St. in 2003 and ended up making stops in cities all over the […]

Meet Crusasis, see them live Monday at Secret Project Robot

Meet Crusasis, see them live Monday at Secret Project Robot

Crusasis could be huge. I know that sounds like chapter one in the Music Writer Cliche handbook. I know that it’s not the 70s anymore and not every three-piece rock band with good songs gets their own RCA greatest hits collection. I know. I know. But just listen…

Titus Andronicus announce new album and epic five-night Shea Stadium stand

April 30, 2015 By Coleman Bentley

If you’ve been sitting up waiting in the long dark of a proverbial night for the return of Brooklyn’s finest self-loathing, 70s-worshipping rock n’ roll odyssey road trippers, Titus Andronicus, then the metaphorical rooster has figuratively crowed. This morning, Patrick Stickles and co. announced their new record—The Most Lamentable Tragedy—on a new label—Merge—with a spit-sprayed […]

BAM presents Unbound with Kim Gordon

March 2, 2015 By Sarah Colgrove

  “To see a seamless performance is kind of boring. I like to see things kind of fall apart.” These are the words of Kim Gordon, after watching clip after clip of live performances gone wrong. As part of the “Unbound” series, last week BAM and Greenlight Books hosted Kim Gordon to talk about her […]

Put your balls away Mac DeMarco

September 5, 2014 By Free Williamsburg

Canada’s TOPS have a video for their new single, “Way to Be Loved,” and it features a cameo (inexplicably) from Mac Demarco’s sack. (See the 1:46 mark.) Needless to say, it’s not safe for work, unless looking at someone’s balls hanging out of their jeans is acceptable at your job. That said, we love the […]

Martrydoom III kicks off at Saint Vitus tonight

June 27, 2014 By Coleman Bentley

Unless you’re one of the several thousand volts currently coursing into the skull of Brooklyn’s heavy metal Frankenculture at the moment, then there’s a very real chance that, even in its third year, you might not know much about Martyrdoom. One of New York City’s best music festivals (for lack of a better term), the […]
