OTBKB Music: Brooklyn Museum's First Saturday

The Brooklyn Museum's First Saturday, a free party which starts at 5pm, is centered around its wonderful Who Shot Rock and Roll exhibit tomorrow.  There are several events, including a show featuring three Brooklyn indie bands: Grass Widow, The Beets and Crystal Silts.  They go on at 5pm and the concert will end at 8:15pm.

Don't like 21st century rock?  Then go back to the '80s with Purple Rain, the film featuring Prince.  You'll need a ticket to get in, but they are free and available at the museum's Vistor Center starting at 6pm.  The movie starts at 7pm.

Finally, from 9-11pm, there's a dance party which, as the Brooklyn Museum describes as "highlighting
artists featured in Who Shot Rock & Roll, including Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Chuck Berry, and Jay-Z."

First Saturday, The Brooklyn Museum, Eastern Parkway and Washington Avenue, 5-11pm, Free.
