// WIN FREE TIX TO THE FUNKY METERS //
Tuesday, September 13 (w/ Livingston Leo)
Wednesday, September 14 (w/ Turkuaz)

The funky METERS. You know ‘em as Art Neville & George Porter Jr. (from the original Meters) + New Orleans native Brian Stoltz on guitar, and Russe1l Batiste Jr. on drums. Their trademark sound blends funk, blues, and dance grooves with a New Orleans vibe.
Now, if you know Brooklyn Bowl, you know there’s nowhere better to get your N’AWLINS on. We got Blue Ribbon fried chicken, fried catfish, muffalettas, po’ boys, and a very deadly Bourbon St. Shake with NUTELLA. Know how good that all tastes with a side of NOLA funk and bowling? Real, real good.
We’ve got 2 free tix to give away to see the funky METERS on the night of your choice. See below for how to enter on Twitter or Facebook.

// 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!

// funky METERS //
February 15-17, 2011
Last week, February 15-17, a little band called the funky METERS came to town. They played and they played and they played, and they blew the house down. The three-night stay included two opening sets by Gary Clark Jr, and a sit-in by ?uestlove on the drums. I mean, does it get any funkier? The answer is no.
Were you there? Post your pictures of the night to our FLICKR group and your videos to our Vimeo group. Show the world what it’s like to get down at Brooklyn Bowl with the funky METERS, Gary Clark Jr., and ?uestlove. If you missed it this time around, check out the links below for recaps, photos and videos.
