Dirty Projectors Clean Up at WaterfrontThis past Sunday the Dirty Projectors took the waterfront stage at the Pool Parties. This was the most anticipated show for us personally, as their latest release Bitte Orca is currently #1 on our own album of the year list. Not that we make such lists. The sound wasn't perfect, but again, who can complain too much when seeing an amazing band for free on a sunny day? Here's a taste incase you missed it: Here's a look at the upcoming schedule for the parties, with another highlight on August 30th as Grizzly Bear and Beach House take the stage. Now that we're two weeks deep into the new Pool Parties, how do you like it in comparison to the McCarren venue?
