NORTHSIDE FESTIVAL 2015 VIDEO OF THE DAY: “ALL I WANT IS TO BE YOUR GIRL” BY HOLLY MIRANDA

Who: Holly Miranda
What: Northside Festival
Where: Knitting Factory Brooklyn, 361 Metropolitan Ave., 347-529-6696
When: Saturday, June 13, $15, 10:00
Why: It took five years for Holly Miranda to follow up her debut album, 2010’s The Magician’s Private Library, but her eponymous sophomore record came out in May, and it features a more wide-ranging, diverse sound, in addition to fiery lyrics. “The days are shorter but the nights are long / We could fuck in the sun and dance till dawn / and all I want is to be your girl,” she proclaims on the disc. Miranda, formerly of the Jealous Girlfriends, plays piano, drums, guitar, and bass on the record, joined by bandmates Timmy Mislock, Maria Eisen, and David Jack Daniels. Suffering from writer’s block, she wrote the tunes, which also include “Mark My Words,” “Pelican Rapids,” “The Only One,” and “Hymnal,” in the desert in Joshua Tree, then recorded them in Brooklyn. Miranda will be performing at a Northside Festival showcase on Saturday night at the Knitting Factory with Shigeto, the Landing, Lord RAJA, Coastgaard, the Fantastic Plastics, Vivid Dreams, and others; each ticket comes with a free digital download of Miranda’s new record. The Northside Festival runs June 8-14 in venues all over Brooklyn’s north side, featuring film June 8-10, innovation speakers, panel discussions, and a trade-show expo June 11-12, music June 11-14, and art walks June 13-14; among the other bands performing on June 13 are Built to Spill and Best Coast at 50 Kent Avenue, Against Me! At McCarren Park, Psychic Blood at Shea Stadium, Chargaux at the Living Room, Nude Beach at Union Pool, and Blonde Redhead at Warsaw.
