FREEwilliamsburg: Woodsist / Captured Tracks Festival w/Thee Oh Sees, Vivian Girls, Crystal Stilts + more

Apparently some people have plans to skip town over the weekend of July 4th. I have no idea why anyone would choose to do that because this independence day weekend Woodsist, Captured Tracks and Todd P are putting on an amazing festival in Bushwick. The Crystal Stilts and Thee Oh Sees are headlining Friday and Saturday respectively. And the lineup's got virtually all of my (and likely your) favorite Brooklyn bands including Vivian Girls, Woods, Kurt Vile, caUSE co-MOTION!, the Beets, Blank Dogs, Real Estate, and more. Plus equally awesome bands like Tyvek and Psychedelic Horseshit making the trip from outta town.

If Woodsist or Captured Tracks don't ring a bell for you this festival is the perfect time to get familiar. Woodsist is Woods' own label that put out their excellent LP Songs of Shame, as well as putting out releases by several of the artists above (claro, hence being on the bill) like Vivian Girls and Thee Oh Sees. Captured Tracks is run by Mike Sniper aka Blank Dogs, and his mission appears to be put out the record of every great new band that forms in Brooklyn. Captured Tracks has put out vinyl from the Beets, Gary War, German Measles and Gutsies (best band formed in 2009, Surfer Body is the summer jam), once again, all of whom will be performing at the festival. In short, it'll be an amazing weekend put on by two great indie record labels.

Tickets are already available online! It's $27 for both days (including a $2 paypal fee), or $15 per day at the door. Full lineup after the jump.
