http://www.musichallofwilliamsburg.com The Dirty Projectors' David Longstreth once (possibly sarcastically) proclaimed that "Brooklyn is the center of the universe" onstage at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. His declaration is an apt description of the acts that perform here--on-the-rise, Brooklyn-based indie rockers and the freshest blog-anointed buzzbands from wherever. Inside, there are three bars--one in the basement, another upstairs, one more on the Shepard Fairey-decorated second floor--and a low stage. Naturally, bountiful stage-diving follows, allowing you to experience the hype firsthand. More >>
http://www.petescandystore.com Between the spacious outdoor garden, free live music, and Wednesday night trivia nights reminiscent of Grandma's house, Pete's has something for everyone in Williamsburg. The tattooed bartending staff is generally friendly, and wallets sigh with relief at the easy prices for such specialty cocktails as the Pomegranate Margarita. The warm, wooden interior expands into a long, narrow room, where bands play an old-fashioned stage to mellow crowds. The outdoor area, never lacking for seats and glowing year round with Christmas lights, endears Pete's to local smokers. More >>
http://www.publicassemblynyc.com North 6 St. in Williamsburg is the hub for dance parties, from the electro-friendly booking at Music Hall of Wburg to Public Assembly, a double-room venue that hosts DJs, cabaret, rock, pop, and the infrequent Mustache Championships. The wide rooms are excellent for movement; shy types need not apply at one of the artsiest clubs around. More >>
Every few weekends in the summer, and occasionally at other times of the year, the Williamsburg basement calling itself Rubulad puts on a show, and they don't do it in a small wayait usually involves local and out-of-town bands, weird arty decorations all over the place, DJs, slide shows, costumes, quasi-legal beverages, drone-chants, giant-sized puppet shows, circus performers, cookouts, and a few hundred local hipsters staying up past their bedtime. There's a festive vibe here that's been missing from Brooklyn rock venues since the early-'90s days of Bicycle and Room Temperature. Rubulad's not terribly official, but poke around on Bedford Street and you'll see signs alerting you when something's going on. More >>
http://www.liveatsheastadium.com Up some warehouse stairs in what was once just an East Williamsburg industrial park perches Shea Stadium, another in the lineage of great New York City DIY spaces (this one named for the erstwhile Mets field). It’s the home of NYC punks the So So Glows, who founded the space--and also happen to live there. The Shea crew prides itself on inclusivity and there's often a homey vibe. From the old-fashioned fridge stuffed with Yuengling to the threadbare furniture thrown about, seeing a show at Shea sort of feels like watching pop punk or experimental rock bands in your great uncle’s den. But don’t mess with the family. Sure, the Shea crew is tolerant, but not at the cost of losing face. Shea Stadium has thrown some legendary events, namely an ad hoc Occupy Wall Street benefit where the So So Glos, Titus Andronicus and Ted Leo blew the roof off in the name of the 99 percent. But what's more is that the soundsmiths at Shea Stadium--which also functions as a recording studio--have archived at least part of every set for the past few years, available to listen through their site. --Dale Eisinger More >>
