Pool Parties to Continue, Another Summer Park Show Announced
As many of you know, the infamous JellyNYC summer Pool Parties were yet again in danger of not happening. Last summer the mostly free concert series were in danger of being discontinued after the venue they had been taking place for 3 years, McCarren Park Pool, was going to be under going construction to become a functioning pool again. Just in the nick of time, the concerts were moved to Williamsburg’s East River Park, which proved to be a wonderful… More »

Matt & Kim and the Breeders at McCarren
Yesterday was a beautiful day at McCarren Park Pool for one of JellyNYC’s Pool Parties. Matt & Kim were awesome and enthusiastic as always, bringing out Rude Mechanical Orchestra to play with them on their last few songs, ending with “Yea Yeah.”
The Breeders finally came on around 5:30 p.m. and were great as well. They played a great mix of old and new, getting to some of my old favorites like “I Just Wanna Get Along” and “No Aloha.” Definitely… More »
Upcoming Shows at Brooklyn Masonic Temple
I’m not sure how the Brooklyn Masonic Temple has turned into the new hot venue, but artists as diverse as Beirut and Mastodon have played there in the last few months. There are four upcoming shows, each of which promise to be very entertaining.
