[Dan Bell at The Bunker - photo by Seze Devres]
We might as well come to terms with it now. Halloween falling on a Friday means tonight (whenever that ends) is destined to be a hot mess. We’re planning to kick our night off at our home away from home, The Bunker, for Dan Bell and […]

[Ponytail at The Fader Fort by Dave Surgan for Obscene NYC]
If you are looking for another non-Manhattan option for Halloween there’s the Matt & Kim party at the Danbro Brewery Warehouse, the newest DIY venue in Bushwick. Opening sets by Fiasco […]

The venue rumors about the Circoloco Resolute party (more info) have come to an end. Fuck DUMBO, Jamaica, and Manhattan, the party is going down on 213 North 8th Street in Williamsburg! There are still presale tickets available Thursday at Etherea, Halcyon, and Kush Lounge.
There are three spectacular, dirty ass underground electronic events going […]

School of Seven Bells
My hands-down favorite from CMJ. I’ve been listening to a handful of their beautiful, hazy songs for the past couple of weeks and had the chance to see them at the Ghostly showcase last Saturday night and they […]

The story starts today at The Fader Fort, someone overflooded the toilet. The toilet water spread throughout the back of the venue.

During peak toilet floodage, Los Fancy Free takes the stage. Only the lead singer and guitarist are here. The drummer is nowhere to be found, the bassist is stuck at the […]

Download: Crystal Antlers - A Thousand Eyes

[via Friction NYC]
Crystal Antlers is one the bands I most look forward to catching this week. Noisy, blistering rock and the guy above is their drummer, worth checking out. Luckily they have no plans to sleep this week with non-stop showcases Thursday-Saturday.
Here’s their lineup for the week:
Thurs […]

1. Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace

Awesomely bad ’80s-style horror show about a haunted hospital with attacking staplers, filing cabinets and the worst production and acting imaginable.
2. Eric Wareheim’s (of Tim & Eric) gloriously NSFW video for Flying Lotus’ “Parisian Goldfish” (sorry Mom)

I’m not so sure what’s going on here but it gets worse and worse and worse. […]

In a very rare moment we’re hanging up our dancing shoes and ear plugs for one weekend and focusing on something that has nothing to do with music.
Black Label will be presenting the 666th Bike Kill in Bedstuy, Brooklyn this Saturday.
Bike Kill is one of the greatest, craziest NYC events. Jeff Stark of www.nonsensenyc.com/ notes […]

This Saturday promises a solid night of techno as we wind down our very own Ryan’s 72-hour birthday marathon.

First off, Adultnapper will be playing early at Pacha to celebrate his birthday. Sign up for the guestlist to get in free before midnight 11:30PM (Thanks Betty!). We can’t say that […]

[Mark Ronson - Ooh Wee ft. Ghostface, Trife, and Nate Dogg’]

N*E*R*D
This party was ridiculous. Fire breathers, little people, a drum corps, acrobats, Gossip Girls, free booze, free food and a crazy lineup of performers all the way through. Oh and a pregnant M.I.A. It wasn’t without a few flaws (heard they reached capacity at 10:30, not enough bartenders) but […]

Download: Citay - First Fantasy

Citay: Eye on the Dollar
Citay is one of my favorite finds of year, their music sounds like Ratatat if Ratatat lived in the woods instead of Brooklyn. A collaboration with Ezra Feinberg of Piano Magic and Fucking Champs guitarist Tim Green, their music would probably be best suited for a […]

Our friends at Brooklyn Based and Meanred have put together a pig roast this Friday at The Yard…
Nothing says harvest like a pig roast, especially when the pig is a 200-lb Berkshire hog…roasted whole over an open barbecue pit by Tom Mylan, Brooklyn’s favorite butcher. Hosted by Brooklyn Based, Sweet Deliverance, Ear Farm and MeanRed, […]

Condo Marketing finally clever
For the record, I hate condos and I hate the Edge. This newest stunt is brilliant though: Sarah Palin Live Here See Wall St.

He was on a […]

Two things to note:
1. The ticket […]
