Julieta Venegas
|
|
If you take 2003’s Sí, 2006’s Limón y Sal, and 2010’s Otra Cosa out of view, one gets a very different impression of Julieta Venegas. Gone, for the most part, would be the pop chanteuse of that trilogy of albums, whose effervescent tunes catapulted her into the... More >> |

Apocalypse: A Bill Callahan Tour Film
|
|
As one of indie rock and alt-country’s most enigmatic and downright recalcitrant figures, Bill Callahan has always left his fans wanting more.

Earl Sweatshirt+Domo Genesis+Vince Staples
|
|
When we first met Earl Sweatshirt, he was but a 16-year-old kid, sitting in a hair salon, blending and drinking the foulest-looking beverage imaginable and rapping impossibly dense bars. Three years later, the kid still might not be grown, but he remains wise beyond his years, spending the time... More >> |

Rock of Ages
|
|
Rock of Ages, the celebrated hymn based on First Corinthians, will not appear in this Broadway musical. Instead expect the hits of Foreigner, Styx, Pat Benatar, and Journey. The nominal plot centers on a romance conducted in the unsalubrious environs of the Sunset Strip circa 1987. More >> |

ThreeASFOUR
|
|
A couple of seasons ago, we attended a ThreeASFOUR presentation in a West Village loft that resembled an underground party more than a Fashion Week event. Designers Gabriel Asfour, Adi Gil, and Angela Donhauser have long remained true to their aesthetic, and they rarely present their shows in a... More >> |

Dorothea Rockburne: Drawing Which Makes Itself
|
|
|
At first glance, Dorothea Rockburne’s works look like straightforward lines on a wall, but they are far from simplistic. They are mathematical solutions. Rockburne has said that “drawing is the bones of thought,” and has applied her studies in math and astronomy to her work... More >> |

Ashley Bickerton
|
|
|
A pioneer of the ’80s Neo-Geo movement (short for neo-geometric conceptualism), along with Jeff Koons, Peter Halley, and Meyer Vaisman, Ashley Bickerton suddenly dropped out of the East Village scene in 1993 and moved to Bali, where he remains two decades later. His latest show, and his... More >> |

Robert Motherwell: Early Collages
|
|
|
As one of the revolutionaries in the New York art movement of the 1940s, Robert Motherwell started a gang of sorts that included other abstract or “automatic” artists, as he called them, like Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, William Baziotes, and Willem de Kooning. And the leader of... More >> |

Christian Joy
|
|
|
When not dreaming up wild outfits for Karen O to rock out in (who could forget the Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer in her Indian headdress at the Glastonbury festival?), Christian Joy is busy working on her own outlandish art. The talented designer’s latest show at Secret Project Robot is titled... More >> |

Betrayal
|
|
|
In a recent interview with The New York Times, real-life married couple Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz seemed as happy as could be: She thinks he’s a great cook, they love to go on luxury vacations, and they relish opportunities to work together. In other words, when they break each... More >> |

Steely Dan
|
|
|
You can usually find these poster boys of jazz-rock right around the intersection of yacht-rock and prog, with grooves worthy of the Doobie Brothers played over far more complex chord sequences. They've released only three new albums in the past 25 years, so their week-long run at the Beacon... More >> |

'Jazz Night'
|
|
|
This weekly jazz jam at the newly expanded Spike Hill bar in Williamsburg is as raucous as anything else on its stretch of Bedford. But the rotating cast of players is solid, the veggie burger is hot, and really, doesn't that newest Beacon's Closet discovery deserve to be aired out somewhere classy? More >> |

In addition to being a popular alcoholic beverage, "chicha" also signifies the psychedelic style of cumbia fermented in Peru's Amazonian rainforests during the '70s. This terrific Brooklyn combo features One Ring Zero accordion wizard Josh Camp and members of Las Rubias del Norte. They open a... More >> |

'Mobile Mondays' w/ Operator EMZ+Joey Carvello+Natasha Diggs+Just Blaze+Misbehaviour+$MoneyMike$
|
|
|
Anyone can queue MP3s through Serato, some can play sets with their collection of 12-inches, but a DJ night with only 45s? Until a backward-looking Brooklyn dive attempts to throw a party where DJs have to stick to wax cylinders, no one is going to touch Bowery Electric’s Mobile Mondays,... More >> |
