Skrillex, G Love & Special Sauce, Soul Rebels Take On Brooklyn Bowl In February

Rebirth Brass Band - Wed, Feb. 5 Rebirth Brass Band - Grammy-winner and a New Orleans mainstay since 1983 -- brings its signature NOLA second-line style (used to describe the dancing party atmosphere of the unofficial paraders behind a marching band) fused with jazz and funk (show: 8pm, admission: $15).

About Brooklyn Bowl:
Brooklyn Bowl is the ultimate night out, with its groundbreaking integration of premiere music, 16 lanes of bowling, a bar featuring locally crafted beers, and food by the acclaimed Blue Ribbon restaurant group. Located in the beautiful, 19th-century Hecla Iron Works building, the venue -- aka "rock and roll heaven" (Village Voice) -- boasts a sound system and amenities that "no other local rock club can offer" (The New York Times).
Wearing its homegrown values on its sleeve, Brooklyn Bowl is as committed to locally made products -- serving award-winning beer from the adjacent Brooklyn Brewery -- as it is to environmental sustainability -- it's the first L.E.E.D.-certified bowling alley in the world. And the food? "Epic," says Eater. In other words, Brooklyn Bowl's unprecedented combination of top-flight music, bowling, beer and food is "like nailing a spare on a four-ten split" (The New Yorker).
