Was you there?

“This year, the Brooklyn Academy of Music has entrusted a part of their Sounds Like Brooklyn Festival to a man who has stolen things, bribed people, tripped on acid for months at a time, hitchhiked across the country, spent time in various jails, contracted venereal diseases and – here’s the part that really counts – thrown some of the craziest parties I’ve ever been lucky enough to sneak into without paying.”
- My Open Bar

“Best part of the already set-to-be-awesome show at Station 171 tonight with Leaders, Boogie Boarder, Cerebral Ballzy, The Death Set, and Japanther? A free shuttle to take you from the corner of Union Ave and Conselyea St. to the venue!”
- Free Williamsburg

“These bands (The Death Set, Cerebral Ballzy, Japanther, Boogie Boarder, & Leaders) define the Brooklyn scene. And this party defines the DIY craziness in all its glory.”
- Brooklyn Ski Club, with follow-up.

Thanks for the kind words! Also thanks to The Village Voice, Eardrum NYC, Brooklyn Vegan, The L Magazine, BrooklynBased and OhMyRockness for pluggin’ the shows!

In addition to all the bands and DJs performing at Station 171 on Thursday and Friday (Feb 4th and 5th), KnifeFight.org is pleased as punch to announce our event vendors!

At the Sounds Like Brooklyn shows this weekend, we will have tables and booths dedicated to three amazing DIY Brooklyn companies: Death/Traitors, Article and ‘SupCakes!  Rap with the owners and designers of Brooklyn’s hottest apparel companies.  Buy a t-shirt!

And while you’re at it, enjoy some of the finest vegan cupcakes made by two of the hottest ladies in the business,  that’s ‘SupCakes!  But you already knew that.

Death/Traitors was founded early 2007 in Brooklyn, NY by Alex Heir and Tyler Mate. Influenced by punk records, ollie holes, and secret societies, Heir and Mate do all the designing, printing, advertising(or lack thereof), and shipping.

Article is a clothing company, a magazine, a record label and a fully-fledged creative force founded by Nick Chatfield-Taylor.

‘SupCakes began when Alana Wilson and Tina Vaden met in San Quentin State Prison. Having little supplies, and no milk or eggs to bake with, the girls concocted miraculous vegan treats to share with their fellow inmates. This served to pass the time wonderfully- and after being released, ’sup cakes grew into a sweet phenomenon on the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
