fuckin liars were so damn good. i love that band. they have a great live show

i could have sworn i saw kyle at the islands. how was he in two places at once?

topless dude in the floppy hat and stupid sunglasses with his obnoxious big-bag-toting girlfriend and her moronic acquaintance left very early (thank god) after pushing to the front after the start of liars' set.. was that you, manhattan?? what a tool.
liars were great.

annoying dj screaming liars over and over needed a rock thrown at him

Is that a new drummer for Liars or does the dude just look a lot different without a beard?

the first band was terrible.

andrew wk RULES!!

How big was the crowd? looks kinda small from that second to last pic.

That was still good ol' Julian on drums..

BEST BAND EVER!

Small crowd in comparison to the other pool shows this year, but still amazing. Except Andrew WK. I wanted to hit him.

Dear Liars,
Thanks for playing the Pool. For the time that you played it felt like 2002 all over again.

Team Robespierre sucks
let their reign of terror end

Fun. Andrew WK is a horrible and annoying DJ

my roomate and i went out and had a good time hanging at the pool, but left a few minutes into the first band - really don't dig them. fun times tho!

could someone explain the appeal of liars?
seriously - I don't really know their music at all, but when I listened to all of the songs on their MySpace... like... it sounded like a bad highschool jam. literally. I wanted to like them, but I really couldn't find a way to

so. what am I missing? how are they opening for radiohead?

I am just enjoying the comments made by all the readers.

I think liars were terrible

andrew wk sucked as a dj

i didnt see fuck buttons

& team robespierre was alright, but ive been to other shows where they've really got the crowd going and it was fun.

I actually spotted a girl in the audience with a Liars tattoo. (for Fins to Make us More Fish-Like).

liars blow

I get it ugly dude angus screams a lot and makes big poses

snooze

@11:18

yeah, i was at islands too. that was saturday - liars was sunday. that said, i can be in two places at once if i really try.

There's nothing more embarrassing than when a flabby hyperactive doofus pretends to dig avant-garde rock in front of 4000 people... and why does Brooklyn keep giving him guests spots [Liars, Boredoms?]. Thanks Jelly.

When I build my time machine I will go back and smash that CD turntable in his face while screaming liars over and over. For future generations will someone please castrate him.

team robes fucks buttons. liars proved these people need to quit attempting to make "music."

liars had sound problems and their set suffered because of it. the new guy's guitar could hardly be heard at times.

fuck buttons sounded beautiful.

team robespierre were weak.

Liars #1!!!

F-Buttons... do we really need to put groups like this on a huge stage? It's like someone amplified the sound of a buzzing mosquito ran through a bunch of guitar effect pedals.

I'd rather drink my own pee then have to watch Team Robespierre again.

I didn't know Andrew WK can DJ! Oh wait... he can't!

Something stunk at the Pool and it wasn't a decomposing body! (sorry, it was just too easy)

Andrew WK, if you're not doing high kicks and singing about partying I don't want to hear it. As much as I think "DJ" is the most over-rated and obnoxious title in music, you proceeded to take it to new lows. Congratulations.

Andrew WK was a bit irking, yes. But it was well worth the repetitive yelling and beating sun to see the Liars show. Fan or not, their live performance was amazing. Best front man ever.

Andrew WK was prob my fav dj at the pool in the last three years. Mark Morgan of Sightings was there talking to Andrew between sets (for the guy who said Andrew has no credibility in experimental scene).

You guys I feel sorry for you, your life it seems is full of hate.

Liars were fucking great!
I didn't hate Fuck Buttons and I really liked Team Robespierre. Good Wire cover.
Aside from the sex in city wanna-be girl standing in front of me against the barricade and texting NON STOP on her Sidekick for the duration of the concert, it was another lovely day at the pool.

C.Holmes
Ok, she did take a few brakes from texting to look for Karen O with her friends.

Since when does talking to anyone give you cred?

And yeah, he was probably talking to Mark because AWK has on occasion played in Sightings.

And just because AWK had some noise projects before his rock record phase still doesn't excuse the fact he is a lousy DJ and incredibly annoying.

p.s. sightings = snooze fest.

does anyone know the name of the last song the Liars played? (something about "he's the bear, the bear, we're the blood, the blood, etc.") great track. been looking for it.

oh that makes sense kyle. lol I am retarded.

2:48: "broken witch" opens their 2nd lp

team robespierre was awful, i don't get how anyone could have honestly preferred their high school punk rock schtick to fuck buttons or liars

at least they made fb and liars look much better by comparison

liars was the shit even with sound problems because of the heavy drums and Angus

Did they play unreleased stuff or just old stuff?

Long live Ron Albertson!!!!

liars were awesome.
fuck buttons need a real drummer and bass player but were still good.
team robes help us realize that it's fun to have fun.

the pool is going to be currraazzzzy crowded next sunday omg. even with the lingering smell of the decomposing gentlewomanchild.

has there been an update on that? the dead person i mean.

Latest update: Dead person found in pool is still dead.

andrew wk is talentless and got famous for no reason.

Even I rocked out to this one.

fuck all you guys. team robespierre was the best band there yesterday.
and if you dont think they were fun, you must be a really miserable person.

"and if you dont think they were fun, you must be a really miserable person."

I fear we're going to hear this about every single show this summer.

I've been subjected to it on several occasions and, truly, Team Robespierre is the worst band haunting Brooklyn these days. COMPLETE garbage.

Liars, however, ohhh man. "We Fenced Other Houses..." was a highlight of my July.

Team Robespierre is the most refreshing band I've seen in awhile. Liars and Fuck Buttons bored the shit out of me.

then taste in short supply around these parts apparently

Nice! I was waiting for the "if you don't like Team Robespierre you don't know how to have fun!" comment this entire thread. Nice job, Anon 5:19.!

Oh, and a word of advice: get some taste. I may be old and not know how to have fun anymore, but even an old geezer like me can see that that was the worst band I've seen in years. I'm sure somewhere Colin Newman had a sharp piecing pain in his side when they butchered (massacred? killed, bludgeoned and humped the body of?) "Mr. Suit". I can still taste the vomit in my mouth from that one.

Liars were great though, even w/ crappy sound.

so bored
