SY@ McCarren Park Pool Aug. 30, 2008
Sonic Youth will play the last ever show at Brooklyn's McCarren Park Pool on Aug. 30, with special guests to be announced. Tickets go on sale Friday (July 25) via Ticketmaster, with proceeds to benefit the Open Space Alliance.
The pool, which opened in 1936 but was closed in 1984, has been hosting shows since the summer of 2006. Construction is set to begin later this year on returning the space to a pool. In winter, some space will be converted into an ice-skating rink. |
I have to go to this.

I was at the summer 2007 Daydream Nation show at McCarren Pool and it was so good ! I can't make it up to NYC this summer though. :(
Whoever can should jump on it. I'd venture to say they play better in NYC than anywhere else. It's so special. :) |
i'll probably go or at least hang out outside if it's too expensive.

Decomposing Body Found in McCarren Park
By BENJAMIN SARLIN, Special to the Sun | July 18, 2008 FEEDBACK|SHARE|PRINT|EMAIL Police are investigating a decomposing body discovered in Brooklyn's McCarren Park yesterday. The remains were discovered in a shed nearby the McCarren Park Pool, police said. The city's medical examiner is working to determine the cause of death. As of yet, police have not identified the deceased and it is unclear how long the body was left in the shed. McCarren Park Pool, located on Lorimer Street between Bayard Street and Driggs Avenue in Williamsburg, is a popular site for outdoor music and theater concerts, featuring such acts this summer such as MIA, the Hold Steady, and Sonic Youth. The giant pool, which was built in 1936, has been drained since 1984. |
Well, there ya go.
