Bushwick Walkabout Festival Photos!

Our long-awaited Bushwick Walkabout Festival this past weekend at BK Fireproof East was simply magnificent- the music sweet, the friends sweaty, and the beer free. Thanks to everyone who came out and of course all of the bands that made this festival happen in the first place. Here are photos from the weekend.

Friday:

Camden rocked out all the way from Boston with vocally-driven tracks that were both raw and lush.

Beast Make Bomb : Thanks to these BK locals for taking the crowd on a musical rollercoaster with rock'n'roll riffs and beachy, almost-spoken vocals, bringing a refreshing lo-fi level to this otherwise very rock-oriented showcase.

Grandchildren: Super intricate soundscapes, layer upon layer of emotionally-laden melodies and riffs. Philly Reps Grandchildren extinguished any doubt the neighbors night have had that this festival would stay on the quite side.

The Toothaches: Filling in for the (now) broken-up Arpline, The Toothaches' no-apologies-offered-punk-pop brought Friday night to its peak in a frenzy of percussion, synth, layered harmonies, amazing energy and a whole lot of facepaint.

Saturday!

Wowser Bowser's memorable set was one of the most fun of the weekend. Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia just for the weekend, their DIY-sound combines delicate vocal melodies and racing percussion with outrageous stage presence, an awesome trumpet player, and BALLOONS!

Incredible set from an incredible Brooklyn band, Slam Donahue. Garage-style beats, floaty synth melodies and rhythmic and whiney vocals, these guys are catchy enough to get stuck in your head all week. Kinda like a 90s song... except in a non-guitly way.

Headless Horseman The ultimately-experimental duo sounded great towards the end of the night with their lo-fi approach, tricky rhythms, and airy falsetto chorals. Facing each other as if eating a meal together, they served up some fine glitchy pop songs.

June 16th - 285 Kent

PENGUIN PRISON - http://www.myspace.com/penguinprison
Imagine, if you will, Chic produced by James Murphy, collaboration between Prince and The Human League, or Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones remixing Off The Wall... brainy but boppy New York disco, as accessible as it is angular, all burbling bass lines, resonant rhythms, shimmering synths and heavenly melodies.

BLACKBIRD BLACKBIRD (CA) - http://blackbirdblackbird.bandcamp.com/
Blackbird Blackbird is a prolific electronic musician who has been featured as a most-blogged artist on The Independent UK at least three times, and accrued a massive following via Hype Machine and Bandcamp.

TINY VICTORIES - http://tinyvictories.bandcamp.com/
A Brooklyn via Athens/DC duo, Greg Walters and Cason Kelly combine experimental electronics with earthy vocals, lush orchestration, elements of noise rock and live drums. The band builds simple songs out of complex pieces, which they best describe as "experimental pop."

June 19th - 285 Kent

SUN AIRWAY - http://www.myspace.com/sunairway

Atmospheric yet catchy, hazy but somehow vital and immediate... Sun Airway has hit on the sweet spot where infectious hooks and cerebral electronic pop intersect, pulling textural sound and pop songcraft into one.

MONOGOLD - http://www.myspace.com/monogoldmusic
Wonderfully crafted lush pop that glides towards dreamy and transcendent territories. Singer Keith Kelly uses his floating falsetto to propel the trio's songs up, up, and up some more.

NEW MOODS - http://www.myspace.com/newmoods
Edgy dance-rock that's at times reminiscent of dark and claustrophobic British bands from the 80s, like very early Simple Minds, The Cure or the more recent Clinic.

+ SURPRISE SPECIAL GUESTS TBA
