The third day of the third annual Northside Festival boasts perhaps the widest range of acts of the fest, from such great duos as Dean & Britta, Exitmusic, and Asobi Seksu to such powerful female-led groups as WOJCIK, Danielia Cotton, and Lily and the Parlour Tricks. Dean & Britta, formerly of Luna, will be part of a free show in McCarren Park with Red Baraat, Mas Ysa, and Hume beginning at 3:15. But we’re most looking forward to the crazy Nashville quartet Turbo Fruits, who will be going wild just before midnight at the Knitting Factory. Below are our five hot picks for Saturday.
