The East Coast woke up to a Twitter storm today. Early this morning, a blogger (not sure where it came from originally) became the ballsiest voice in New York, attempting to announce what even the haughty New York Times decided to
pussyfoot around the existence of... The NYC Jelly Pool Parties lineup. The recurring summer event has been marred in politics, sponsorship issues, and mystery (rut roh, gang!). Since it was confirmed that eight of the "parties" would happen, everyone has been guessing who (or what) would fill the bill. Earlier today news broke of the supposed lineup, and with the notable exceptions of our boys Dinosaur Feathers getting to take the stage (awesome!) and the Spoon show, this fake lineup is very disappointing. Thank Pavement it isn't the real deal. OR IS IT? We're really not sure what is going on with these things.
Fakeness confirmed by
BV.
The Rumored Lineup:
7/11 Les Savy Fav, Frankie Rose & The Outs, Dinosaur Feathers
7/18 Murder City Devils, Obits, Jeff The Brotherhood
7/25 Cap'n Jazz, No Age, Lightning Bolt
8/1 Spoon, Blonde Redhead, Xeno & Oaklander
8/8 Gang Gang Dance, Man Man, The Beets
8/15 Titus Andronics, Crystal Stilts, Drink Up Buttercup
8/22 Iggy & The Stooges, The Thermals, The Entrance Band
Stay tuned. We've had fun at these before...Check out some of the Pool Parties of the past below. -
