Recommended Show: SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 2009 PRETTY AND NICE @ LITTLEFIELD 622 Degraw Street Brooklyn, NY 11217 $10, 8PM I have yet to attend a show at the new Brooklyn venue Littlefield; however, tonight's show with Pretty and Nice might be the perfect opportunity.

I wasn't going to anything further on Bebel Gilberto. But I found a couple of rare Peter Kruder extended mixes on a 12". For Bebel's third album she used electronic producer Guy Sigsworth. From an interview in RemixMag : "Her organic attitude turned out to be an excellent complement to the precise style of Guy Sigsworth, the Pro Tools devotee with whom she worked in London. Having collaborated with Björk, Madonna and Imogen Heap (as one-half of the ethereal dance band Frou Frou), Sigsworth brought a dance-music sensibility to the studio that helped [...]
Recommended Show: THURSDAY, JULY 16, 2009 MAN MAN @ EAST RIVER AMPHITHEATER East River Park (between Grand & Jackson Streets) Manhattan, NY 10002 FREE, 7PM Saying a show is happening at East River Park gets confusing these days now that JellyNYC has moved the Pool Parties to the East River State Park in Brooklyn. However, Man Man are playing at the amphitheater at the East River Park in Manhattan by the FDR right in between the Williamsburg and Manhattan Bridges. It's a walk from the nearest subway, but well worth it! [...]

Thanks so much to everyone who came out, especially the fabulous bands who played, and to Trophy Bar for hosting the whole madness. I know everyone I invited to play were some of my favorites, so of course I was thrilled more than anybody else to see them all at one place, but I was extra excited because they all played incredibly strong sets. A ton of pictures are posted here with helpful captions, and we filmed pretty much the whole thing, so video will come soon too! All pics were taken by me (Sarahana), except where noted. [...]

All Northside Festival shows are listed after the jump--afternoon shows are marked as such! -Bridges [...]
Yes, yes, I'm very well aware that you are tired of that word "Northside" by now, especially if you don't even live in Brooklyn. Bear with me, though: the show is tomorrow, it's for FREE, and some of the hardest working, most awesomely talented bands are playing, so I just want to give 'em as much pre-show love as possible, in asking you for during-the-show love. Definitely come EARLY! Afuche has prepared a 'head fuck' for you. There will be a group of interpretive dancers, the band's very own 'Afuchitas'. Tune-Yards will play next, and if you have [...]

Have you checked out who's playing Brooklyn's Northside Festival this weekend? Here's a round-up from QRO Magazine , in case you were overwhelmed, and here's the full schedule . And here are the latest details on our FREE day show at Trophy Bar, June 13. The video invitation above has been You-Tube-fied for the You Tube friendly folks out there, in case you missed it before. Most importantly, here are the latest set times: 2:00 Afuche 2:30 [...]
We'd love for you to come and be part of this fantastic madness. It's for FREE, and it's during the day on a Saturday, and we'll be selling top notch spring sandwiches in the backyard. A lot of the performances will be unamplified, which is always twice as fun. It's too bad that I'm organizing this show because ideally I would've liked to just sit and watch this whole thing myself. Get a taste of who's playing: Hooves on the Turf's Northside Festival showcase at Trophy Bar, 351 Broadway [...]
