BAM Brooklyn Next starts tonight
French Kicks
Not much editorializing here, just a honkin’ huge list of excellent event, brought to you by the good folks at BAM. There are some safe bets (the French Kicks are generally solid, as are the Double and O’Death), but there are also plenty of unknown groups and sounds to explore. The overall line-up serves as a nice reminder that Brooklyn music is about more than stylish indie bands; I’m particularly excited to check out the Haitian Rara music happening at fivemyles.
Full list under the cut.
