t’s again — it never stopped<br />
Ihappening.<br />
Just as the gentrification of <strong>Brooklyn</strong><br />
came about as a consequence of musicians<br />
in Manhattan seeking out low<br />
rents, with the ensuing following of tastemakers<br />
and art-savvy denizens capitalizing<br />
upon this relocation, the same<br />
story is being told again in the city’s<br />
easternmost borough: <strong>Queens</strong>. And<br />
just as the once-predominantly Jewish<br />
enclave of Williamsburg, or the post-industrial<br />
warehouses of eastern Williamsburg<br />
and Bushwick, may have appeared<br />
insusceptible to dynamic change, so too<br />
could be said about <strong>Queens</strong>’ bordering,<br />
predominantly residential neighborhoods<br />
today.<br />
This issue’s main feature tackles this<br />
geographic shift of the NYC scene and<br />
possible future scenarios, while other<br />
sections of it are focused on a music<br />
gear event happening on the other side<br />
of the country (the <strong>NAMM</strong> show), with a<br />
focus on curious devices many NYC musicians<br />
stomp on for creative purposes.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se seemingly separate worlds collide<br />
almost every time we listen to a NYC<br />
band that uses an electric guitar - you’ll<br />
also find a great selection of those in the<br />
central pages of this issue!<br />
