Yacht, Dan Deacon, and Tapes n Tapes descend on Brooklyn this week to give you a dose of high pitch synth squeals and rumbling guitar riffs.
Yacht kicks it off Wednesday night at Studio B. Have a question ready he likes to Q&A mid show. Are you having a good time?
Dan Deacon will be […]

Dinner and a movie is dated. If you want to show your girl who wears the way-too-tight pants in the house a good time, take her to EyeWash Friday night, March 7th.
Now in it’s fifth year; EyeWash has a been the premiere venue for video artists in New York. It’s hosted by MonkeyTown, and […]

This is one of the shows we wish we would’ve caught last year, The Annual Tibet House Benefit Concert. This year Philip Glass is the Artistic Director with acts like Sufjan Stevens, Band of Horses, Ray Davies, Phamie Gow Nawang Khechog, Ashley MacIsaac, Marisa Monte, & Tom Verlaine. It’s probably above my cash […]

It’s always easy to spot a piece by WK Interact. Unique, monochrome, and full of swooshing motion. WK launches his solo show in Williamsburg this Friday night. Stop by after the beirgarten.
If you’re really jonesing for a street fix, Blek le Rat, Blu, Bo130, D*Face, Microbo and Space Invader are showing at the Jonathan […]

OFFF is this weekend and the long tag line is a verbose way of saying Designer/Programmers/Musicians/Technologist will be showing off their skills to others who do the same thing. For those of you familiar with the BD4D style show-and-tell conferences this one is for the books. Three days of talks from some of the most […]

The Islands - Williamsburg Free CMJ show from Way on Vimeo.
Islands played a chill outdoor show put on by Todd P at the foot of the Williamsburg Bridge on Saturday. Along with Aa aka BIG A little a, Despot, and Bat Attack. Gotta love the free day time shows. The Islands had a lot of […]

The marathon continues. MIA played her second night at the new West Side hangar space, Terminal 5. Looking past the sweating ceilings and neon underagers the show was banger. A few awkward moments clearing the stage and setting up loops gave way to the best encore chant I’ve ever heard.

Second stop, or maybe it was […]

Decompress. ObsceneNYC is back from the playa, dust everywhere, reaching for the first clean shirt in two weeks. This year’s Burning Man was eventful to say the least. The “largest sandstorm in 3 years,” double rainbows, and two mans burnt to the ground. New York represented big with camps Disorient and Astor Playa.

There’s nothing quite […]

ObsceneNYC.com has a party bus going from Williamsburg to Daft Punk and back.
$35 round trip, that’s about $17 each way to not worry about parking/cabs/ or sweaty one hour train rides from Coney Island. BYOB it’s a friggin’ PARTY BUS.
Space is limited, Leaves @ 7 near Pete’s Candy Shop, email me now. wayman@obscenenyc.com

I’m from Barcelona (which is actually Swedish?!) has figured it out a master plan for a world-wide never ending party. 1) Write awesome tunes that need a 29 piece band. 2) Fill said band with your friends. 3) Travel the world on the biggest party caravan evar. Tomorrow the party bus/plane/train lands at McCarren Pool […]

This is why Hiro Ballroom and GBH are doing it right. Put your name on the list, no questions, ridiculous venue, and they’re always solid shows. This Thursday is no exception with Chromeo, Flosstradmus, and 33hz. Do yourself a favor and check out “Mercury Tears”, instant classic. I rocked this jam until I could hear […]

Summer is here and with it come all of those summer parties and shows that keep us outside. Grabs your shades, some of the best people watching in the world is in your backyard.

P.S.1, the MoMA’s Long Island City satellite, had some of the best Saturday afternoons of last summer. I missed every one of […]

How are these two connected? Other than the sheer fun factor, Best Fwends was recently added to the Friday Matt & Kim show in Bushwick as a DJ/MC opener or perhaps closer? This is in addition to the FREE show that Best Fwends (I feel wierd even typing it, let alone saying it) will be […]

To the 4 people that don’t already have Daft Punk tickets for August 9th, the night is not lost. None other than the Beastie Boys are going to be rocking our concrete tub known as McCarren Pool. I love and hate this. It’s hard enough making up my mind on a Friday night, but what […]

Two good openings on one night. In the left corner No Sleep to Bushwick featuring Bast, Aiko ([update: formerly] from Faile), and Skewville. In the right corner, Four Artists: work by recent Pratt alumni: Swoon, Fay Ku, Rossana Martinez, and Jean Shin.

Alright alright, so Swoon is the only ‘urban artist’ in that fray but what […]

Well not really, this really confused me earlier today. Feist is definitely playing, but the second part is fuzzier. Some member from BSS have gotten together as ‘Broken Social Scene Presents’ and will be playing Kevin Drew’s new solo album Spirit if…

Sound good to you? Great, than go get yourself a presale ticket, login/password is […]

Bump bump, Spank Rock hit Gallery Bar in the Lower East Side last night. Amazingly still under-the-radar for most, the Pennsylvania crew knows how to rock a floor. The crowd was liquored up, raring to go, and celebrating Shilo’s DVD release. All the right ingredients for a good night.

Do yourself a favor and listen to […]
