Siren Music Festival (7/18)


Nice Pants Monotonix!

I ended up at this scene after trying to get into the Central Park SummerStage concert featuring Q-tip and Chester French. I really should have practiced what I preach when I say get to events like this super early, in order to guarantee entry. A short time after I arrived to the park, an announcement was made that no one else would be admitted to SummerStage.

In spite of this, people still waited on line.

Spank Rock

The Siren Music Festival does not exactly feature my favorite genre of music. But I don't mind keeping an open mind. This festival has been at Coney Island for a few years now and it's an all day montage of Indie and Rock bands. All of this takes place on two separate stages at each end of the amusement park.

Booths filled with food and even some free samples.

Even though I didn't know any of the performers (with the exception of Spank Rock), the people surrounding were entertainment enough. When you mix the sun, music, and questionable substances you get a lot of crowd surfing, wild dancing, collapsing, and random behavior as shown here.

Sleeping dude and his friends.

Speaking of questionable substances, there was a whole lot of this taking place too:
