Celebrate Brooklyn - TV on the Radio, Matt Pond PA, Voxtrot - Prospect Park Bandshell FREE

I don’t think I have to tell any of my readers who TV on the Radio is, and, whether you love them or think they’re a bit overblown, aren’t ya at least curious to see what our local heroes are up to? Tonight’s as good a night as any to find out – particularly since they’re playing for free under the stars at one of the world’s finest public parks, Prospect, at one of New York’s most consistently amazing free annual events, The Celebrate Brooklyn Festival. The busy Brooklyn collective rarely appears live in their hometown and their new stuff is their best so far. They are however billed with two bland indie rock acts as openers, Matt Pond PA and Voxtrot. But considering the price and the ambience, what’ve ya got to lose?
