This year we brought our Gothamist House series outside of our office building (where Third Eye Blind's Stephan Jenkins was the first to perform, last year), and to some of our favorite spots in New York. Of course, we didn't ditch our building all together, Henry Wolfe, Snowden, and Harper Blynn all came by to perform there. Following their performances, we branched out and brought The Walkmen to the New York Public Library, the Black Angels to Angel Orensanz, and Small Black to the gorgeous abandoned 5 Beekman building. Click through for a full look back in video. And we'll be bringing many more of these to you in 2011, so if you have a location suggestion, let us know (we hope to invite readers to some of the filmings!).

A Look Back At 2010's Gothamist House
Live From Gothamist House: Kaki King
Last we checked in on Kaki King was back in 2008, when she was about to release her album Dreaming Of Revenge. Now she's just released her 5th album, Junior, which has sent "the first and only female Guitar God" back on the road. Prior to all of this, you may have seen her busking in the subway system, which she began doing during her time at NYU.
Kaki King, Musician
Kaki King (MySpace) is a guitar player and singer-songwriter from Atlanta, Georgia. She lived in Brooklyn for 7 years until last summer, when music started taking her on a permanent tour around the world. Her upcoming album is called Dreaming Of Revenge and will be released March 11th on Velour Records. King was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Original Score for the music she played in the Sean Penn film Into the Wild, and Rolling Stone Magazine has declared her the first and only female "Guitar God."
