// THE ROOTS AT BROOKLYN BOWL //
NEW YEAR’S EVE 2010
On New Year’s Eve, things got real. We had the legendary Roots crew in the house for a very special NYE celebration, which included not one… not two… but THREE. FULL. SETS. Then, because you know he can’t stop/won’t stop, our main man Questlove hopped into the DJ booth for a special late night edition of his weekly party at Brooklyn Bowl, Bowl Train. In their three sets, The Roots played hit after hit after hit, proving that they really are the hardest working band in the biz (not that there were any doubters). And when the clocks broadcasted on all the screens reached midnight, champagne bottles were popped, shots of Patron were passed around, Questlove tweeted, and lots and lots of love was shared all around. There was simply no other place to be.
Were you there? Post your pictures of the night to our FLICKR group and your videos to our Vimeo group. Show the worldwhat it’s like to get down at Brooklyn Bowl with the one and only Roots crew. If you missed it this time around, check out the links below for recaps, photos and videos.

Real Estate were born in the depths of one New Jersey summer. Frontman Martin Courtney had just returned home to his native Ridgewood from college in Washington State, a few fresh songs in his pockets. He’d been playing music with bassist Alex Bleeker and guitarist Matthew Mondanile since high school in various forms, even covering Weezer and the Strokes records from tip to tail. But during the summer of 2008, Real Estate didn’t get nostalgic for just their specific suburban nights, crushes, or favorite bands as teens– they fashioned a tin can-and-string to memories more universal. Their self-titled debut LP is a collection of those first underwater pop songs and onward, 7″ cuts and mpfrees that have been backstroking their way across the Web and into lo-fi nerdpiles. Over the past year, many of these songs have soundtracked a time when it feels like every kid in or just out of college seems to be handcrafting/clamoring for music that shuttles us back to a time before career choices, adult responsibility, and this recession.
