THIS IS BROOKLYN BOWL: VIDEO

February 10th, 2011

http://www.vimeo.com/18333508

What an unbelievable year 2010 was at Brooklyn Bowl. So amazing, we decided to put a video together to highlight the epicness.

Snoop, Kanye, MIA, Shadow, The Roots, N.E.R.D., Sharon Jones, Solange and B, Ziggy, Robert Randolph, 8 nights of Soulive ie Bowlive, Big Boi, The Disco Biscuits, LTJ Bukem. Dinosaur Jr, Matisyahu, Neon Indian, Q-tip, Tricky, Les Claypool, Galactic, Bill Clinton and countless, countless more graced our stage while the lanes slammed with high rollers and Blue Ribbon fried chicken overflowed from endless red baskets.

From Pitchfork Offline Festivall to the Brooklyn Brewery Local X Local series, Vimeo’s Eye Candy for Strangers to ?uestlove DJing just about every Thursday of the year, legendary Friday nights with Solange–the list of madness never ends!

Just wait till you see what 2011 has in store…

Much Love,

~Team BB

NYE WITH THE ROOTS: MEDIA RECAP

January 3rd, 2011

// 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.

?uestlove is the unmistakable heartbeat of The Roots, Philadelphia’s most influential hip-hop band. Beyond that, this Grammy award-winning musician’s undisputable reputation has landed him musical directing positions with everyone from D’Angelo to Eminem to Jay-Z. He boasts production credits for Al Green, Erykah Badu, Joss Stone, Justin Timberlake and D’Angelo, among many others. His uncanny ear for picking the perfect song for the perfect moment has landed him the position of musical director of The Dave Chapelle Show. And now his beloved Roots crew serves as house band for the NBC Jimmy Fallon Late Show.
