JellyNYC has finally announced their free Sunday shows at McCarren Park Pool. This could be the last season of the Pool Parties, with the space getting redesigned soon -- so try to soak it all up:
June 29th:
The Hold Steady, The Loved Ones, J Roddy and the Business
July 6th: Ronnie Spector, The Rabbit Factory Soul Revue, Featuring: Roscoe Robinson, Ralph ‘Soul’ Jackson, Hermon Hitson and Wiley & The Checkmates
July 13th: (Headliner TBA), Matt + Kim, The Whip
July 20th: Liars, F*ck Buttons, Team Robespierre
July 27th: MGMT, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Ting Tings
August 3rd: Black Lips, Deerhunter, King Khan + His Shrines, Tall Firs
August 17th: Aesop Rock, Panther and Special guests
The lineups look like they'll pack the pool each week, and they've even got a couple more dates to fill in, with August 24th looking like the closer to the season. If you've never been, here's a glimpse through our lenses last year.
