Northside Festival Thursday Schedule
The opening night of the Northside Festival features some ninety bands playing eighteen venues, so we’ve filtered through the madness to single out five shows that we think stand out from the crowd.
The Sundelles, Spike Hill, 8:00: Brooklyn trio opened last weekend’s Crest Fest with a solid set of semi-psychedelic indie pop (also Friday at 9:00 at Public Assembly).
The New Deal, Brooklyn Bowl, 9:00: Canadian threesome play funky electronica that Ray Parker would be proud of.
These United States, Music Hall of Williamsburg, 9:45: Jesse Elliott’s quirky voice leads the way through intelligent indie alt-country from DC.
Au Revoir Simone, Warsaw, 11:00: Keyboardists Heather D’Angelo, Erika Foster, and Annie Hart offer delightful pop minimalism on infectious ditties.
Mr. Dream, Coco 66, 12 midnight: Brooklyn trio melds techno, Brit pop, and power chords while offering up knick knacks, knuckle sandwiches, and other fancy things.
