Caught Antibalas at Brooklyn Bowl on Saturday night—phenomenal show. They were super tight and had great energy for the whole set. There were several alumni present as well, at one point, there were no less than fifteen guys on stage. Thanks to Kenny for trekking out to Williamsburg on a rainy night, not to mention providing this excellent picture.

Speaking of Williamsburg, it’s been a minute since I’ve been in that area around Brooklyn Bowl. What’s with all the massive, brightly lit billboards for Cartier, Sapphire Reserve cards and other high-end brands? Is it just me, or do they make Wythe Ave. feel more Sunset Strip than Williamsburg?
