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!
