FEATURED EVENTS
Animal Collective & Danielson
Please don't read any further. Seriously, stop right here. Because if you keep reading, there's no way you'll be able to resist bum-rushing the South Street Seaport Summer Series to hear the tribal rhythms and psychedelic noise of Animal Collective along with the merrymaking of art-rockers Danielson, and I won't be able to get in. As far as free outdoor rock concerts go, this is tops. I can already picture it: the full moon, the warm night air, the scenic Hudson, two great bands, and me. Not you. read more
Benefit "Friendraiser" Concert Don't Demo Domino
The historic Domino Sugar Factory, one of the last major industrial sites on the Williamsburg waterfront, may soon be replaced by (you guessed it) luxury condos when the area is rezoned for residential development. Tell Bloomberg exactly where he can stick his waterfront plan at the Benefit "Friendraiser" Concert Don't Demo Domino. The price for admission is a signature on a petition asking to designate the site as a New York City landmark. Your reward for showing up is an awesome all-day lineup of talent featuring an acoustic set by acclaimed rockers Nada Surf, dancing by burlesque divas the Wau Wau Sisters, and general mayhem by the raucous Hungry March Band. Cheeseburger, Vic Thrill and the Saturn Missile, and the Black Tie Party are also on the bill. read more
