The Hype Machine

Abbey Braden, our kickass radio show host, also takes a ton of concert photos and publishes them at Punkphoto.  Today, Punkphoto turns 5 and to celebrate, some of the best photos are shown at Littlefield in Brooklyn.  Come join us, TimeOut agrees.

Our favorite Canadians at the Yellow Bird Project are taking their Indie Rock Coloring Book on the road this month, and we haven’t been this excited for arts and crafts since we graduated the Academy of Rock!

YPB is a non-profit that sells tees designed by great indie musicians, with all proceeds going to a charity of the musician’s choice, and they’re doing the same for this super fun book. (Activities include: Find all the birds in Devendra’s beard and color them yellow).

You can read their blog right here, and if you’re coming out to the New York launch party, do say hi to our own t-shirt designer Zoya and help her finish the word search on page 12.

Reblog this Concert!

Our friends at Tumblr are putting on a show today!

It’s fittingly called “Reblog This Concert” and features The Urgency, Bamboo Shoots, Shinobi Ninja, and DJ sets by Bearbot and DJ Machine, all artists that use Tumblr as their home on the web.

Today (August 10th) at NYC’s Gramercy Theatre.
