The names and dates for the annual round of free shows at Manhattan's South Street Seaport keep looking better and better. Now filling the previously vacant August 24th slot will be Scots sweethearts Camera Obscura. That piece of good news is icing on an already delicious cake, that includes an opening night (June 1st) Animal Collective & Danielson double header, as well as staggered appearances by justified hype cadets, Fujiya & Miyagi, Menomena, the National, Battles, Au Revoir Simone, and more. Plus all sorts of hypothetical goodness for the dates are left to be announced!
Some deserved compensation for the biblical levels of humidity city dwellers are plagued by every summer.
