Murder City Devils, Obits, JEFF The Brotherhood and Silverghost at the Pool Party in Brooklyn

Another summer in Brooklyn can’t be complete without the FREE Jelly Pool Parties which happen every Sunday for the next couple of weeks at the Williamsburg Waterfront. All the bands that played the second of seven freebie shows were excellent. Silverghost (a duo from Detroit on keyboards and guitar) started the day followed by an evidently subdued JEFF The Brotherhood, with Jake being sick and all. They canceled a show the night before in Philly, so it was good to see the boys come through with the NYC show. They still rocked. I’m sure we’ll see them again in our neck of the woods soon. Obits played next, but it was Murder City Devils that owned. The crowd came alive with the fists pumping, hands clapping and the crowd surfing. I hear a lot of people complaining about this year’s Pool lineup…but what’s to complain about? It’s free and if you don’t like the lineup don’t show up. But if you don’t show up…you’ll miss out on all the free energy drinks, free silk screened shirts from Vans, dodgeball (who doesn’t like that?), the best people watching spot in all of hipster land and a beautiful view of Manhattan. Enjoy it while you can, because it feels like summer is flying by. So, grab your sunblock and see you next week at the Pool Party.
