FREEwilliamsburg’s Top 25 Albums of 2018

FREEwilliamsburg’s Top 25 Albums of 2018

We’ve pretty much always had a “top album” list here at Freedubya, but we’ve essentially been doing a more detailed version of it for the past five. Five years. That’s a milestone! Something to reflect on, I suppose. It feels like this list gets weirder and weirder every year, as Williamsburg gets… well, more and more “normal,” via J Crews, Apple Stores and Chipotles. I’m not sure what that says about us? Probably that we’re increasingly contrarian? I’d like to think it’s that we’re more authentic. Such is the time-tested conundrum of the North Brooklyn resident. I guess you, the reader, will be the judge of that. Anyway – peep these albums. We liked ’em a whole lot.

Updated: 2018 Northside Music Festival Guide

It never really feels like summer until the Northside Festival rolls around, now celebrating its 10th anniversary, the music portion runs from the 7th of June until the 10th and you can still pick up a badge, or pick up single-show tickets. We’re here, as usual, to try to sift through the 70+ shows available […]

Parquet Courts are doing a lunchtime record release show on Thursday

Their new record Wide Awake!, produced by Danger Mouse, is out on Friday and we’ve loved everything we’ve heard thus far. You can grab tickets for the afternoon show this Thursday at Rough Trade. If you can’t make it, fear not. Pitchfork will be streaming it. Wide Awake! is New York’s Parquet Courts’ fifth record since their […]

Top 5 shows of the weekend

I hope everyone had a good long weekend last time around (thanks to Pete for covering), I’m still in the UK and am looking forward to seeing Slowdive in Oxford and Justin Currie in London this weekend, but if I were here, I’d be hitting some of these up.

December 8, 2016 By Chris Quartly

Seems like a fairly normal week, local institutions announcing that they’re closing, crazy people making crazy threats, and maybe some good news with the opening of a new music venue. Plenty of great options this weekend and it’s going to be a cold one so what better way to get through it than with a […]

April 7, 2016 By Chris Quartly

I’d like to think I’ve got a decent track record of recommending shows or bands that might normally fly under the radar, and that might still be somewhat true this week, but what you are getting are established, tried and tested greats, with a healthy dose of “wow, they’re still playing?”. As proved last week, nostalgia […]

Happy memorial day weekend! This has already been a great week for shows, with Courtney Barnett on Tuesday and TV On the Radio on Wednesday already setting things up nicely. If you’re away travelling, you’ll be missing some outstanding music!
