Sisters & Sundelles Playing Summer Screen Tomorrow (FREE)

Summer Screen is good fun but they always wait until the last minute to announce the bands. I'm not really sure what the strategy is here but nonetheless they've got some good bands playing tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the first night of Summerscreen, our free outdoor film series in McCarren Park (on the ballfields across the tennis courts from the Automotive High School, and across North 12th Street from the Turkey's Nest). You should make a night of it: gates open at 6pm for you to lay out your blanket, wait until dark for our opening night film, Say Anything, and in the meantime enter our Fandango contest and graze the selections from our local food and drink vendors: Sixpoint beer, and food from Pizza Moto, Asia Dogs, People's Pops,San Loco, and more on a rotating basis.

 

While you sit, eating, drinking, waiting for the Peter Gabriel song to come on and for your friends you're saving space for to show, you'll also be entertained by a couple of our favorite Brooklyn bands: the Sundelles, at 6:15, and Sisters, at 7:15. Pretty much everything you like about living in Brooklyn will be happening at Summerscreen tomorrow night, then.

 

As always, SummerScreen is a free event. Bring a blanket or a chair -- we hope to see you there!

Tonight: Wavves @ Bowery; Motel Motel & Evil Dead 2 @ McCarren

Wavves, Woods, Real Estate, & Popo are playing Bowery Ballroom tonight. That's a pretty solid lineup if you ask me. I've seen both Popo and Real Estate before. Popo are just fucking awesome and Real Estate is good but a little too mellow at times. I'm sorta on the fence about Woods and Wavves so seeing them live will be interesting.

Elsewhere! Motel Motel plays at Summerscreen at McCarren Park across from Turkey's Nest. They actually let people in with Big Buds last time, which is super awesome. Also, the movie is Evil Dead II, so it's going to be really fun.

Tonight: Wild Yaks Play Summerscreen

Tonight kicks off the first of the L Magazine Summerscreen events. The movie tonight is Reality Bites, which is kinda cool I guess. More importantly though the Wild Yaks are playing before the movie! The show is free and taking place at the ball fields across from the Turkey's Nest. You know what that means right? Big Buds to-go!

2009 Summerscreen Lineups

I've only been to one of these but it's a pretty good time. We snuck in a few 40's and hung out at the pool while Wet Hot American Summer was on the big screen. This year they're moving it to the softball fields, which may be an improvement (plus we can get "to-go" cups from Turkey's Nest!).

The L Magazine’s popular Summerscreen film series returns to Williamsburg this year, despite the loss of the McCarren Park Pool. Instead, we’ll be showing an excellent lineup of movies in another section of McCarren: the ballfields in the Southwest corner of the park.

The films will be shown at dusk on Wednesday nights starting July 8th and area restaurants will be on hand to sell food and beverages. Admittance is absolutely free.

This year’s lineup of films includes:

July 8: Reality Bites

July 15: Evil Dead 2

July 22: 24 Hour Party People

July 29: Wild at Heart

August 5: Fame

August 12: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
