WE’RE TWO!

July 15th, 2011

// WE’RE TWO YEARS OLD! //

Believe it or not, we’re TWO (and there’s nothing terrible about it). So to celebrate, we’re showing you the birth of Brooklyn Bowl… through Instagram.

We’ll be posting one photo each day for the next month, documenting the creation of Brooklyn Bowl from an abandoned Williamsburg warehouse. So tune in on Instagram at @brooklynbowl and see how we got all tuned up.

(And don’t forget to tag the ‘grams you take at BB with #brooklynbowl to win free tickets!)

Photo #1: 61 Wythe Ave, c. June 2007. Before it all happened.

GALACTIC MEDIA RECAP

June 30th, 2011

// GALACTIC MEDIA RECAP //

Tuesday, June 21 – Friday, June 24, 2011

************************************************

Oh man–if you were anywhere near here last week, you were without a doubt experiencing the monument of sounds expelling from every crack of 61 Wythe Ave. That’s right my friends–New Orleans funk masters Galactic were in the building for a four night stint that peeled paint & melted brains. The band wasted no time getting busy with tracks off of their most recent record, Ya-Ka-May, throwin’ down covers that gave the originals a run for their money & featuring some serious special guest-age including Warren Haynes, Scott Metzger, ?uestlove, Eric Krasno, Steven Bernstein, Chali 2na, Nigel Hall and Jamie McLean. And yes, we too have been sporting that open-mouthed look of awe ever since.

Get funky and share your photos & videos captured during the event on our Flickr & Vimeo groups!

Deertick + Nirvana = DEERVANA. They came, they conquered. Beer was guzzled, crowds were moshed and surfed, and guitars were smashed. It was a damn good Nirvana tribute.
