A little about Bronx Underground…

Bronx Underground is a DIY concert group based in the Bronx, NY. Over the past 8 years, Bronx Underground has created what countless showgoers and bands call “one of the best underground rock scenes in the USA” – in what some might call the unlikeliest of places — The Bronx. The Bronx Underground scene is diverse in every sense of the word, from packing 4 genres on to one show and having open minded scenesters move to it all, to being a place where cultures come together for music and community. Bronx Underground’s all ages shows run the gamut, from local only bills that consistently bring in hundreds of indie, powerpop, rock. pop punk and hardcore fans, to hosting the likes of Set Your Goals, A Wilhelm Scream, Emmure and The Human Abstract.  Bronx Underground is also home to all ages dance parties, an 18+ indie rock monthly, outdoor festivals and more.  Bronx Underground has been featured in the New York Times, Daily News, The L, Time Out New York and more.

On June 21 the city will be alive with music!

From Rockaway to Parkchester, from the South Shore to Harlem there will be something glorious for everyone!

June 21 is as important a date as there is in this festival. A close second might be this Friday April 24: the last day to sign up for the festival on our website:

Before we get to putting on the show, we must find all those lovely locations and masterful musicians who are the heart of the festival. As amazing as it is to see all the places and people signed up, we would love to find a way for more of them to take part by signing up on our website:

How can you help?

Glad you asked. This Tuesday (Apr 21) and Thursday (Apr 23), we will be hosting phonebanks to get 2009 registrants connected with each other. We’ll provide the phones, you’ll provide that soothing voice to assist people through the process of finding a venue.

Both phonebanks are at Transportation Alternatives, 127 W. 26th Street, Suite 1002, Manhattan (map).

RSVP by emailing me at chris@makemusicny.org

If you have wanted to help out and haven’t so far, this is a great opportunity to get involved. And even if you can’t make it, make sure you send all your friends a reminder to sign up on the website (all together now):
