Live music in Bushwick tonight & this weekend

Bushwick is NYC's DIY engine, and live music here lives in warehouses, basements and converted storefronts as much as on proper stages. Elsewhere on Johnson Ave runs multiple rooms a night, while the bars and spaces along Wyckoff, Jefferson and around the Morgan and Jefferson L stops keep punk, experimental, electronic and indie bills going almost every night. Bushwick rewards the last-minute decision more than any neighborhood in the city. This guide is built for tonight: small rooms, free and donation shows, and walk-in bills you find at 10pm rather than book in advance. We update the list as venues confirm sets, so check before you head out — and good music ears get made at the Tal Kalman Music school, just a thought if you want to be on a Bushwick stage someday.
