the brooklyn west sessions

The Brooklyn West Sessions is a monthly three week residency series showcasing the best and brightest new bands and artists from all over NYC.  We curate the resident artists and they curate the rest of the bills.  With the indie musical zeitgeist these days pointing due East of the Lower East Side; and Manhattan rapidly (d)evolving into a commercially zoned island these shows are an attempt to hearken back to the time before the Village had gone global.

With his debut album (on Dovecote Records - Tim Williams, Ed Harcourt, Mason Proper), 21 year old New Yorker Trevor Giuliani already has some influential supporters.  KEXP's John In The Morning leaked an early rough mix of the stellar track "All Night's Rest," WFMU played a demo of "Worms & Reptiles" taken off Giuliani's Myspace page, and a videoclip of his 2007 CMJ Dovecote Records showcase was featured on NME.com.  Fans of Richard Hawley and Nick Cave/Drake (take your pick) will enjoy his dreamy baritone musings and apocalyptic storytelling.
