AM New York Still Thinks McCarren's Pool Parties RAWK
In this morning’s AM New York (seen above), Fahima Haque relives what must have been a dream last night about one of “the best of the free music fests” at McCarren Park Pool, the derelict pool turned “unpretentious and charming spot” that this summer will feature acts the likes of Dan Deacon, Grizzly Bear, and Girl Talk!
In this alterna-universe, the free shows start July 12 and run through August 30th, and we imagine the slip-n-slide will be there too! And you guys! Ohh, you guys will all be there! Everybody gets VIP in this dream, and I bet all the hip young indie actors will come out for MGMT again, and dance without regrets in the shaded corner left of stage! We’ll dance with them!
Oh, I just LOVE AMNY, those dreamers! Screw reporting, screw even being aware of the multi-year construction project at McCarren Park Pool that’s long sent the concert series to the waterfront. If we can’t dream alongside America’s Greatest Morning Daily, then I don’t even want to write a blog anymore.
thanks FAHIMA HAQUE
the real story is whether the waterfront shows will actually be happening or not…
they haven’t been announced officially and it’s three weeks away.
The lineup has been announced–first show is Mission of Burma.
Well they also imply that MGMT, TV on the Radio, and Animal Collective at Prospect Park are free, and $30/$35 DOS is far from free.
Looks like all three artists are indeed playing the “pool” parties. I think they just decided to keep the brand for obvious reasons. Never doubt that AM NY reporting again!
