You might remember we mentioned
Ponytail last week, as well as
Pattern Is Movement,
The Bloodsugars and
Bridges and Powerlines in the past few weeks. If you're interested in any of them, as well as
Health, The Form, Titus Andronicus, Wakey!Wakey!, DJ XXXchange and many more, then strap on your fest gear, because we've got a good one for you:
After The Jump Fest.
The fest starts at noon on Saturday (6/21) and will feature many bands for free, as well as several larger names at an evening benefit at
Music Hall of Williamsburg. The fest is the ffort of several New York City music bloggers who wanted to put on a show to support underfunded city school music programs. This years fest will include 40 bands across four stages, taking over MHOW and The Galapagos Art Space, as well as North Sixth street in Brooklyn.
And if you haven't heard of some of these bands, check out our posts about them, or pay close attention to the blog this week. We'll be profiling several of the acts from the fest every day leading up to the event (i.e. "better know an ATJF band"). Stay tuned.-
