free summer shows of NYC 2010

Here's a start:

http://www.ohmyrockness.com/Showlist.cfm?freeShows=True

Konono No. 1 at Prospect Park on July 17 -- baby's first concert??

Also interested in Thee Oh Sees at the Seaport the evening before (7/16)

Goddammit going to miss Juana Molina on 6/23. :(

Are there any other good websites for NYC shows/events? Or is this the best one?

did you check the forks $ummer$tage thread on 77?

I don't have 77 access.

I think that site is pretty comprehensive for shows. I check http://toddpnyc.com/ [lol sonned in a noize brd beef] for "who is playing in a parking garage in Bushwick" but that stuff mostly gets listed on Oh My Rockness and Brooklyn Vegan anyway

sort of a show on the High Line Monday eve:

DJ/Rupture, DJ Trent, and the Friends of the High Line team up next Monday, May 31st from 7-10pm to bring you a solar-powered broadcast from The High Line, the most beautiful public space in New York: disused elevated railroad tracks that rise above the meatpacking district transformed into magnificent viewing platforms for the greatest city in the world, Jersey City, and its close cousin Manhattan.

Featuring a live set of interstellar 8-bit crunk by Minusbaby + live stargazing (with telescopes!) by the Amateur Astronomers' Association.

Join the fun in person - for free! - on the High Line under the Standard Hotel between 12th and 13th Streets. Powered by the sun with the help of Solar 1.

bump for FMU on High Line, 7-10 tonight

I wd normally not be caught dead @comedy show, but Eugene Mirman was funny last time I saw him (opening for Yo La Tengo), and he's headlining in Prosp Park on Thurs night.

also features John Hodgman and Michael Showalter

Seems like the free sorta-Neu! show has not been mentioned here? August 6-- M. Rother, Steve Shelley, guy from Tall Firs, gtr from Secret Machines performing as Hallogallo.

Also, this monday the 21st, a bunch of free Xenakis in central park.

http://www.brooklynvegan.com/img/music2/summerthunderflyer.jpg

Sunday is Salif Keita at Central Park.

keep it on the down low, but every Monday in July, Rick Bishop is playing at Zebulon.

Yah, i will be going to at least one of those.

hey, Aretha for free on Aug 12. That's even worth putting up with Markowitz.

http://www.brooklynconcerts.com/seaside.html

sitting at zebulon using their wifi for the rick bishop show tonight; the p.a. is playing one of my favorite sol hoopii sides--"farewell blues" which i actually own on 78rpm.

Will see Bear in Heaven friday at south street seaport if I can get out of work early enough. 17-year-old inlaw cousin visiting, wants to see shows, requires all-ages situations.

Bear in Heaven is terrible; when did these dudes become a big deal?

I like them. I saw them like three or four years ago and thought they were good, but then I think their new record was in Pitchfork BNM so you know how it goes.

how was the rick bishop show? are they getting a big crowd?

It got packed; was kinda hot/sticky. Didn't stick around for second set.

am v curous abt the sort-Neu show w rother et al! where is it? maybe that will be my summer nyc wkend...

Boris is playing at music hall that night too so I'm going to try and catch that after :)

are all the shows at "W'burg Waterfront" $44 this year?

get a job, hippie

screw you, I'm an angry employed man.

Pool Parties:

http://www.freewilliamsburg.com/williamsburg-waterfronts-2010-jelly-pool-parties-schedule-announced/

I've seen the Strange Boys, they're nice.

Yeah tbh it seems like they charge a lot for shitty outdoor shows. Does it normally cost $54 to see way-past-their-prime Weezer even in a comfortable indoor setting with good acoustics?

I mean I don't know if they've improved the setup, but the show I went to there last summer had mediocre sound and was really hard to see.

I like Celebrate Brooklyn a lot more than Pool Parties

rrrobyn The Neu!ish thing is at Damrosch Park Bandshell which is outside lincoln center i guess:
http://new.lincolncenter.org/live/index.php/ood-2010-hallogallo-pascoal

Hermeto Pascoal should be interesting too.
also the day before that is gil scott heron at marus garvey park in harlem.
and the day after is DFA djs at PS1 warmup (not free)

i've got it all planned out!

whoa! those are good plans.
thanks for info :D
