ALRIGHT.
1st ever Northside Festival is happening all this weekend
and we’re hosting two great shows curated by Free Williamsburg & Impose Magazine
with more bands than you can shake a badge at.

both nights are epic, collectively involving almost 20 acts of blissful beach rock,
glitchy electronic pop, pixies-ish minimalist rock, 8bit, lo-fi, garage,
experimental and psyched-out dance music and a ton more
[not to mention FREE ice cream & beer on friday]

thanks to everyone who put in all the time to make this whole thing happen!!

NOTE: a Northside Fest badge will, space permitting, get you in to both of these shows,
but badges are NOT REQUIRED for entry

[via thepiratehat]

“it’s a fuzzy, sweetly simple sea chantey (or in this case, I guess a “lake chantey”) that reminds you of how awesome that last bonfire of the summer was, until the cops showed up and you had to run for your life … “Black Lake” is a jangly, hazy slice of nostalgia for those of us who still have love for America’s forgotten playground.” -pitchfork track review

SATURDAY

:: gary war ::

[via thepiratehat]

“Gary War takes a slant on the lo-fi synth bath but oozes with a bit more charm than straight up burnt embers and gasoline fumes that some others have stumbled into this year. More akin to the (Ariel) Pink Warrior than to say Herr Blank Dogs; War seems firmly rooted in the lounge style that both Pink and to a lesser extent John Maus have perfected as filtered through the confines of a second hand tape player and a good bet on a large 70′s leaning tape collection.” -Raven Sings the Blues

:: dan friel ::

[via thepiratehat]

“On his solo record Ghost Town, he’s using many of those same glassy, treble-heavy electronic tones, but just as P&L can replace guitar and bass with unfamiliar sqeals, Friel goes further and replaces the drums, the vocals, and pretty much the whole band with the wheeze and skronk of electronic instruments. Even as he abandons traditional rock instruments, he bends his new toys to the particular vision of his better-known band — that is, to twist noise until it’s basically pop.” -Pitchfork

BK based spazzed out psychedelia that gets better every time we see it

mp3s for download ►►► here & here

“While their name might suggest a pink-scored jump suit and a heavy reserve of bleeps, Dinowalrus actually makes sleek music from the future that simultaneously shares a lot of roots with early New Order, Brooklyn spazz-prog 2008, psychedelics abusers, and the dreams I had last night about manatees. It’s all adhered together with Spaceman 3 era reverb.” -Impose
