Hello from the mosh pit @lipcritic and @mxlonely ! Stoked rooms like this are coming back Thx to @weirdhours for the hottest date evr Ricoh GRiii

Here are photos from the album release show at Stone Circle Theatre (@sctrpc ). Big thanks to @rvngintl and @adhocfm for making this happen and to Frances Chang (@p.l.u.t.o.n.e.s.s ) for the amazing music. Huge thanks to those who came! It was such a special night, still feel like a champion for making it to the other end of this big project. Hoping to keep performing it, looking for more dark rooms with big sound. Osni forever 🔥 Photos by the incredible @ryanmuir 📸

“Voicemail from a dear old friend” Andrew Bird performed at the 33rd season opener at @briccelebratebk Celebrate Brooklyn June 10, 2011. This is the first of a series (open ended) of a ground level short form documentation of things worth leaving the house for.

Experimental duo Buke and Gase played their NYC farewell shows at Public Records on Wednesday and Thursday. In a statement earlier this year, Arone Dyer wrote: "Buke and Gase! How I love thee, Let me count the ways… Oh wait, no. That time signature is way too convoluted. My Buke & Gase collaborator Aron Sanchez and I have been in each other’s worlds for a while now, nearing twenty-six years! We’ve traveled a lot, much like a family, or perhaps more than a typical family. And we’ve become family because of it. And now it’s time to break up that family, and start our own… Case in point: I’m pregnant! Which means big (welcome) changes. I’m sitting here trying to write a blurb explaining why we, Buke and Gase, are throwing in the towel, and it’s annoying to admit, but the income-factor is a part of it. Everywhere we go, music is being played in the background, and somehow the money for that usage never reaches the people who create the art. Streaming has made the selling of albums nearly impossible! And now artists have to contend with AI? Really? Is this what the kids are into? (More like what a small number of money-making adults are forcing upon all of us.) Do you really want to listen to music made by…let’s be real, it’s not Intelligence, but Artificial IMITATION? Pah! Mere mimicry! (I feel like I need to note that no AI was utilized to write this.) I digress. And yet: we love our fans. We want to share our energy with you one last time. Or two or three last times. Brooklyn and Hudson are both places that are essential to our story—the former is where we met; the latter is where we both ended up living by the early 2010s. So we’re calling this our New York farewell! Let us give you a warm hug goodbye." 📷 @ryanmuir

@GrizzlyBear , Beach House (@beaccchhoussse ), and Neon Indian (@alan_palomo ), Jelly NYC Pool Party on the Williamsburg waterfront, 8/3/09. Photographs by Ryan Muir (@ryanmmuir ). An excerpt from the book’s introduction: On an exquisite Sunday in August of 2009, Jay-Z and Beyoncé went to Williamsburg. Along with over 6,000 fans who had waited two hours in line-“a sea of plaid, straw hats, flow-y dresses and V-necks, according to Gothamist-they watched an hour-long performance on the waterfront by Grizzly Bear, who had just released their landmark album, ‘Veckatimest.’ It was the season-end finale of a series once held at the long-empty McCarren Pool. The Pool Parties came to life in the summer of 2006, with free performances by local indie acts. Besides the music, there were Slip ‘N Slides, Hula Hoops, and constant people-watching: a catwalk, theme park, and pickup scene, all at once. The parties instantly became a staple of summer in the city-so much so that, in 2008, the mayor announced a $50 million renovation of the pool, ending its life as a concert venue. The series moved a few blocks south, to East River State Park, a once-bustling railyard where boats off-loaded cargo for more than a century. The band was introduced before a cloudless skyline by an unlikely emcee: New York’s senior senator Chuck Schumer.
