The Summer Of McCarren Pool

Summer '07 will definitely be the summer that NYC'ers remember as being the summer they were at McCarren Pool. There's too many good shows going on to miss heading out to Williamsburg for some pool fun.

First, there are the pool parties. JellyNYC has done a phenomenal job booking amazing bands like TV On The Radio, Man Man, Dan Deacon, Blond Redhead and I'm From Barcelona, among others. Those shows are all free. RSVP at Going.com.

Then there are the ticketed shows:
Cat Power, Built To Spill - July 7th
Sonic Youth do Daydream Nation - July 28th
Erasure, Young Love - August 3rd
Beastie Boys - August 9th
Feist, Kevin Drew - August 29th
Modest Mouse, Love As Laughter - September 8th

The Modest Mouse show was originally scheduled for Keyspan Park, but just got moved to McCarren Pool and rescheduled for a month later than the original date. Band of Horses was supposed to play the Keyspan Park show, but there's no word on if they'll do the McCarren Pool show. However, they are playing the latest NYxNY Magazine event, which is a Bad Art Auction hosted by Zach Galifianakis at Hiro Ballroom. Tix are $30 and available here.
