Description

Basically, Brooklyn Bowl is the Pimp My Ride of music venues. It has a 16-lane bowling alley with big-ass HD TV screens situated above the pins. "Rock. And Roll. Fries" and the "Really Sloppy Joe" are on the Blue Ribbon-supplied menu. And they book wonderfully odd and unexpected novelty shows such as Lebowski Fest, the Regional Air Guitar Championships, and Snoop Dogg. Most of the time, however, the Bowl brings out the latest in indie rock, punctuated by seasonal specialties like Questlove's weekly DJ residency. Their couches are really comfortable, too.

It's a profoundly odd place, Brooklyn Bowl, "posh bowling alley" being on the face of it a bizarre combination of words. And yet the Williamsburg spot is a beguiling mixture of low and slightly higher culture. Throw down on one of their 16 bowling lanes or just gawk at the enormous big-screen TVs looming above them; nonchalantly down a couple beers or luxuriate in a Blue Ribbon–provided full dinner menu including, allegedly, the most stupendous fried chicken ever fried. Oh, and, yes,... More »

DISCO! AT THE BOWLING ALLEY

By Nick Murray | Wed, March 21, 2012

Five and a half years ago, Escort played their first show. Their debut single, the disco-reviving "Starlight," had been tearing up DJ sets for the previous month or two, but they had been, up to that point, unable to assemble all 14 members on the... More »
Less Than Jake

By SARAH MADGES | Wed, February 15, 2012

Since releasing their first major record (Pezcore in 1995), Gainesville hit-makers Less Than Jake have perfected the third-wave ska of brassy brashness, distorted guitar, and fast tempos. Fusing the music with punk to craft wry, upbeat anthems, th... More »

LUCKY STRIKE

By Mikael Wood | Wed, December 28, 2011

Revelers set on ringing in a booze-less 2012 should probably steer clear of Brooklyn Bowl, where Deer Tick is headlining a sure-to-be-sloppy four-band bill. One memorable phrase from the Rhode Island crew’s recent Divine Providence? “I don’t care ... More »
Lettuce

Rooted in the Meters, Tower of Power, and Curtis Mayfield, these groove-hardy cabbage patch kids combine the four classical elements to make funk gold: earth, wind, fire, and ... lettuce. It's a precise alchemy, but as veterans of Soulive, the Rus... More »
