Top 5 shows of the weekend

It’s hard to get wrapped up in all the terrible news and seemingly everyday atrocities, but it’s important to take note of the good news, the upward trends, the acts of goodwill and all that jazz. I’m not just talking about the actual reality of things getting better over time (despite what it may seem like), […]

February 4, 2016 By Chris Quartly

January has finally relinquished its death-grip on the world. It has been a rough start to 2016, but hopefully less choppy waters lie ahead, to help facilitate this, I am mostly prescribing a weekend of music that won’t often get out of the middle lane. Sometimes we all need to admit defeat and just slow […]

Greetings. Let’s start off by reveling in Run the Jewel’s performance on Colbert this week (with TV On the Radio as their backing band, no less). Good, now we can move on with our weekend plans. Because “American” football season has just started, I tried to catch some actual football too and saw NYCF vs Toronto last night. Sure, […]

January 5, 2011 By Nicole Wasilewicz

This Friday, Williamsburg’s original bowling alley will be going the route of live music– and beefing up the competition with that larger and newer fellow bowling venue around the corner. The new 1,000 square foot space, aptly named The Back Room, will be host to what so far look like consistent $5 concerts– kicking off […]

Rocky Salemmo: The Bowler

June 17, 2010 By Free Williamsburg

Here’s the latest from our friend Sean Dunne, who you may remember filmed this great documentary on Jimmy Tarangelo that we featured on the site last year. His latest subject is Rocky Salemmo. As Sean says: He’s a ramblin’ gamblin’ man. For the majority of his adult life Rocky has hustled bowling for a living. […]
