Radio Free Brooklyn Showcase @ The New Colossus Festival

The New Colossus Festival Presents: Radio Free Brooklyn Showcase!…It’s time my dudes! NCF ‘25 is here!

Punkish @ The Broadway
2025-04-24 19:00 - 23:30 | The Broadway, 1272 Broadway, Brooklyn, New York, 11221, United States
Punkish delivers a messy mixtape of loud, weird, beautiful noise from the fringes of rock, electronic, and everything in between. Think dive bar energy meets digital chaos—with just enough melody to hum while you dodge a flying beer can.

Featuring the sonic experiments of Mother Cell, the doom-chant anthems of Die the Monk, the glitch-pop secrets of Secretm, and the electro-punk kink of BDSM57, this show isn’t about fitting in. It’s about blowing it all up, laughing maniacally, and dancing in the rubble.

Come for the distortion, stay for the surprise breakdowns and existential screaming. Get weird with Punkish.
