Each week we send Turkishomework out to capture a sliver of our city’s blurred-vision nightlife.

MICROWAVE ONLY (UPDATED): So This Is What Passes As Hardcore Punk These Days, Isn’t It?

Photos by Turkishomework

Each week we send Turkishomework out to capture a sliver of our city’s blurred-vision nightlife. She had a hell of a time at Terminal 5 on Saturday night, too. And by that, we mean Crystal Castles’ repeated refusal to let accredited photographers near the stage whenever, and wherever, they play. (Here’s another example: a temper tantrum that happened right in the front of Icelandic fans who didn’t know any better. In this case, Crystal Castles played an abbreviated set that ended in Alice Glass throwing a drum kit at the crowd—a move that would have gotten her in hot water, had it happened in North America. And in the case of last night, Turkishomework literally climbed a pole to snap the following shots.)

Photos by Turkishomework

Just when we thought we’d never hear from her again—she has this way of disappearing without a trace, you see—Turkishomework filed two sets of photos from the past couple weeks. One is from our latest installment of OSCILLATIONS, featuring Blessure Grave, Led Er Est, Passions, and DJ Veronica Vasicka of Minimal Wave Records; and the other is from a low-key Brooklyn bill with Beach Fossils, Frankie Rose and the Outs and Wild Nothing. Feel the pain of everyone…

MICROWAVE ONLY: Wondering What Death By Audio Has To Do With a Bunch of Jim Henson Rejects and John Lithgow’s Son

Photos by Turkishomework

Each week we send Turkishomework out to capture a sliver of our city’s blurred-vision nightlife. Sometimes that means seeing a simple show, and sometimes that means catching John Lithgow’s son (bassist Nate Lithgow of local buzz band ArpLine) and a pack of mask-toting crazy kids (the Nuclear Power Pants collective) in Brooklyn.

Each week we send Turkishomework out to capture a sliver of our city’s blurred-vision nightlife.

MICROWAVE ONLY: Things Are About To Get Dark, Aren’t They?

Photos by Turkishomework

Each week we send Turkishomework out to capture a sliver of our city’s blurred-vision nightlife. She nearly lost herself last Friday, though, as two hometown coldwave heroes—Xeno & Oaklander and Led Er Est—served up heat-seeking synth lines and moonlit melodies at Cameo Gallery in Brooklyn. We’ll have an exclusive Needle Exchange mix from their Wierd Records label boss later this month…
