"Rather than a traditional theatre, we are creating a garden of earthly delights. Empyrean is a place of ecstasy, artistry and real interpersonal connection. When the curtain falls, the night has just begun."

Jesca Hoop has announced a tour in support of her upcoming album Long Wave Home. Dates are with Faun Fables and include NYC's Le Poisson Rouge on June 29.

Geoff Rickly began Thursday's set in the balcony, giving the first public performance of No Devolución track 'Empty Glass', which had previously been performed during a 2021 livestream set.

"It's so thrilling to have a record number of bookstores participating in this year's crawl, with a diversity of genres and missions," said Jessica Stockton-Bagnulo, owner of Greenlight Bookstore and an organizer of the Brooklyn Bookstore Crawl. "Our community includes used and new bookstores, stores specializing in romantasy, food, art, and horror, queer bookstores, Spanish language bookstores, bookstore bars, and a growing number of Black owned bookstores, for a true and wonderful reflection of the Brooklyn we love."

With our music, I particularly like to be on the extremes of things. So if it's supposed to be pretty in your face, I like to be fairly in your face. And then at the same time, if it's kind of warm and gentle, I like that to be as warm and gentle as possible. I'm interested in those juxtapositions and making those, that's how we want it to come across.

MoonFest draws inspiration from John Draper, who made history in 1840 by capturing one of the earliest photographs of the moon, bridging the gap between Earth and our celestial neighbor.

Los Thuthanaka, who made Pitchfork's 2026 Album of the Year, will play Brooklyn's Elsewhere on June 4, showcasing their acclaimed music to a live audience.

You could go anywhere in America and argue with some success for the cultural impact wrought by most of the once-subcultural stars of Lizzy Goodman's oral history of New York's post-9/11 rock scene, 'Meet Me In The Bathroom.' Or, for God's sake, Jeff Chang's history of hip-hop, 'Can't Stop Won't Stop.' But to explain this era to someone who hasn't devoted their psyche or youth to 'indie rock,' you'd need to spend a whole dinner, and maybe a few drinks afterwards, justifying why the tentpole events that 'Us v. Them' returns to multiple times in its 300-page run mean anything.

Between our daily coverage, our Notable Releases and Indie Basement columns, and our monthly punk and rap roundups, we post tons of new music all the time here on BrooklynVegan. In an effort to keep track of all the new music we're excited about, we've been posting a new playlist each week with many of the songs we love that were (mostly) released that week.

"There You Were (Alligator Song)" is their first-ever video and it was directed by Lucas Cabu and shot entirely at a live show on a Manhattan rooftop where - spoiler alert - the cops do show up. "We shot this video at an undisclosed location but it was originally just another show for us that turned into a video," says Fizzy, Loosey's vocalist.

When he's not making proggy folk as a solo artist, Richard Dawson gets his skronk on as part of proggy new-wave art-rock group Hen Ogledd. Despite my attempts to do so in the previous sentence, the band are hard to succinctly describe: they can pivot from warm synthpop to mossy faerie folk to baggy Manchester shuffle beats to dense prog and even flashes of hip hop. Hen Ogledd are weird, but also welcoming.

Home Front, the Edmonton, Alberta band formed by Graeme MacKinnon of Canadian hardcore band No Problem and Clint Frazier, who used to lead electro-rock group Shout Out Out Out Out, will be on tour this spring in support of their third album, Watch It Die, which was released last November. The first half of the tour is supporting Angel Du$t with Béton Armé and Odd Man Out, and the second half is with Bootlicker.

Los Angeles black metallers Agriculture released one of our favorite albums of 2025 with their sophomore LP, The Spiritual Sound, in October, and they wrapped up the winter leg of their tour supporting it with a trio of NYC shows, headlining Bowery Ballroom on Friday (2/13) with support from Knoll, playing a matinee on Saturday afternoon (2/14) at Rough Trade, and heading to Baby's All Right on Saturday night, with Ekko Astral and Peace Through Strength (Jack Tobias and Zack Borzone of YHWH Nailgun).

'Theft World''s inception began while the band was on tour for their Partisan debut 'Hex Dealer,' when frontman Bret Kaser discovered his identity had been stolen and that someone had used his personal information to make hundreds of purchases, including buying the band's entire discography on Bandcamp. When they tracked down the scammer, the band encountered the culprit: a young fan in a 'Five Nights At Freddy''s zip up who recited the stolen social security number and eagerly confessed,

hemlocke springs' fantastic debut album, The Apple Tree Under The Sea, is out today via AWAL - you can read our review in Notable Releases. To celebrate the release, she's releasing a new video of the final track, "be the girl!," a euphoric bop. It's directed by Quinn Whitney Wilson and premieres at 12:59 PM ET.
