Description

Gallery Bar in LES tried first, and admirably, but they just couldn't combine the intellectual yen of a gallery space with an ebullient dance scene. Glasslands Gallery, across the East River, fares much better, thanks to A-list even curators (MGMT and TV on the Radio have celebrated a holiday or two here) and quality postmodern collections. Unless you already regularly breakdance in the Met, this is the highbrow/lowbrow boogying you've been craving.

  • Jon Hopkins

    Jon Hopkins

    By Aaron Gonsher | Wed, June 05, 2013

    Jon Hopkins is a British producer whose young career has been defined by a evasive collaborative spirit, whether inspiring Brian Eno with the improvisational elasticity of his compositions or flexing against electronic music strictures in his... More »

    ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

    By Nick Murray | Wed, May 29, 2013

    Sang Icona Pop, on last year’s “I Love It,” the dance hit co-written by Charli XCX: “You’re from the ’70s, but I’m a ’90s bitch.” Charli, though, can barely claim that. Only 20 years old, the British singer-songwriter knows the ’00s best, even if... More »

    Groundislava

    By Puja Patel | Wed, May 15, 2013

    Groundislava is the mellow member of the WeDidIt crew, a collective of LA-based DJs whose M.O. involves flipping regional bass thuds into bouncy club bangers that deftly (and often, just barely) sidestep the traps of festival mosh pit glut. No,... More »

    Majical Cloudz+Gobby

    By RAYMOND CUMMINGS | Wed, May 08, 2013

    With a name like Majical Cloudz, you go in expecting horizon-leveling psychedelic hijinx, cocks on socks, general mayhem. Then you actually get a whiff of what Devon Welsh and Matthew Otto cook up in Montreal, and it's of a distinctly more... More »

  • Angel Olsen

    Angel Olsen

    By Caitlin White | Wed, May 08, 2013

    This Chicago-by-way-of-St.Louis folk singer lives up to the pairing in her name, both decidedly heavenly and remarkably plain. Simple as soil, Angel Olsen's songs are distinguished by her possessed, tortured, heavenly voice—at times a tool in her... More »

  • 2012 | Best Block for Concert Hopping

    Full disclosure: When this year's awards were being assigned, this category was intended to reward the best live-music venue in the city, a place that kept the cover low and the volume high and that booked all types of shows for all types of crowds. The problem? South Williamsburg has three of those places, all on the same block of Kent Avenue. Start at Glasslands, a beautifully realized 300-person space where bands and DJs perform in front of an unmistakable handmade thunder cloud of paper,... More »

  • 2008 | Best Arts Venue Conjuring Avenue A in the '80s

    The reunion of a 1970s San Francisco-based drag troupe, a 1930s Berlin-style cabaret, music acts ranging from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs to Matisyahu, a soul-dance competition, and a lecture by conceptual-art philosopher Henry Flynt are just the beginning at GlassLands Gallery. The tchotchke-filled, mural-lined industrial space on a no-man's-land block in Williamsburg is something right out of the East Village's heyday, with a paint-your-own section of wall; artwork including found objects by J...
