the year was 2011. ASAP rocky and Grimes were performing at 285 Kent and not married to billionaires. Rihanna not yet a billionaire was showing up to random rooftop afters. there was no covid. tumblr still had porn. we had it good
It’s maybe uncouth to dunk on the young but Vice’s offices killing the DIY venues along Kent in 2014 is the universally acknowledged end of “Williamsburg.” The sweet spot was late 90s-2010.

Was listening to these guys tonight’s brought back some memories. This is the 2010’s post-punk crowd. Down stream of joy division. I know that venue this was filmed at really well. My band used to play there. 285 Kent.

From an album release show at 285 Kent (12 years ago) to 6 nights at Brooklyn Steel. Nothing warms my heart more than watching bands/artists find their deserved success. Congrats blood orange.
