Fresh off their European tour with Islands, Brooklyn band TEEN takes over Brooklyn Night Bazaar this week. The female four-piece is headed up by Kristina “Teeny” Lieberson (hence the band’s name), formerly of Here We Go Magic.

The LOT LIC Music & Film Series, an eight-week summer party, makes its debut in Long Island City this weekend. It’s a free event, with music on Saturdays and film on Thursdays.

This week’s performers are Sinkane, Takuya Kuroda and DJ D-Felic. 43-29 Crescent St, Long Island City, Saturday, August 2 from 3-9 p.m., tickets free More →

There’s almost nothing left for us to say about Titus Andronicus. Except that the show is free. And also this wisdom, dear hipster children, via Droz in PCU: “You’re wearing the shirt of the band you’re going to see?

Because the your pyrotechnic fun on this most sacred day, arguably defying the founding fathers’ true intentions, please be advised it’s probably best to toss out your mortars and Roman Candles if you’re sticking around this crock-pot of a city for the weekend. But buck up kiddies, because we’ve got an ultra-Patriotic guide for this 4th of July featuring tons of activities that are almost as exhilarating as narrowly escaping having your hand blown off by a defective firecracker.

At first glance the most exciting thing about the latest update from Brooklyn Night Bazaar is the announcement that local titans Titus Andronicus are playing a July 11 show put on by Mailchimp (the service we use for our handy Bedford + Bowery newsletter, hint hint). More →
