Pow Wow! played on N. 6th for the Northside Festival.

As I was heading to the Hold Steady Show at Music Hall of Williamsburg, trying to find a place to park, I noticed a small crowd gathered around a band playing on the sidewalk. I parked my Jeep, and watched a short set by Pow Wow!
Here are a couple of shots:

MGMT and The Ting Tings @ McCarren Pool

This show was jammed. When I pulled up, there were mobs of people for blocks.
The photo pit was jammed too. Anyone with a VIP passes kind of made their way into the pit, and it was really hard to get off a shot. But the show was good, and the crowd was way into it.

The Ting Tings (much better than I thought they would be)




MGMT







Some of the many who could not get in

Matt and Kim and the Breeders @ McCarren Pool

Matt and Kim were a hell of a lot of fun, and the crowd was way into them.

The Hold Steady @ McCarren Pool, Brooklyn

The Hold Steady played the first JellyNYC Pool Party of the summer at McCarren Pool in Brooklyn. Sadly, this is the last summer for shows there.
It poured like crazy before the show started, but the openers J Roddy made it thorugh with clear skies.
During the set by the Loved Ones the skies opened up and the rain came down again.
Luckily, for the Hold Steady the sun came out, and everything was right in the world.
Here are some photos I took at the show:
