Walk by 322 Union Avenue in Williamsburg and you might notice a whitewashed marquee, a relic of era when newsreels talked about heroes and movies were swell. The sign is at once a nod to the past and a signal of something new: UnionDocs, a multifaceted non-profit that hopes to change the way we make, [...]

WEDNESDAY: Birds Do It, Bees Do It
Tonight, join the ever-fabulous Isabella Rossellini at Coco66 for a screening of Green Porno, a book signing, a Q&A session, and truffle popcorn.

WEDNESDAY: Referential Rockers
Tonight, get sweaty at Monster Island with Titus Andronicus. The hyper-literate emo-punk Jersey kids come complete with song titles like “Upon Viewing Bruegel’s ‘Landscape with the Fall of Icarus’” and “Albert Camus” and a corresponding 8.5 from Pitchfork, but don’t let that scare you — their live shows are legendarily fun. Local boys [...]

From the very first seconds of It’s Frightening, the sophomore record from Brooklyn-based six-piece saloon rock outfit, White Rabbits, it is clear that this album is something to be reckoned with. “Percussion Gun,” a song as explosive as its name sounds, starts the record off with a literal bang, on a deep bass drum and [...]

WEDNESDAY: Elvis Has Entered the Building

Kicking off a week of [...]
