HEALTH @ the Williamsburg Waterfront in Brooklyn - pics

HEALTH

“Speaking of Northside Piers, its access to the Burg waterfront might be harmful to your health, but only if you’re hungry. A tipster writes: “The Northside Piers pier has all sorts of signs warning pregnant women, women of childbearing age, and children against eating the eels in the East River. Which sort of implies that the Williamsburg waterfront is rife with mutant eels? Eels or no, the pier is actually a pretty great addition to the neighborhood.” This is the type of story that needs visual accompaniment. Luckily, we’ve got it!” [Curbed]

Unlike Trail of Dead, HEALTH played a set at the Williamsburg Waterfront on Sunday (as did Grupo Fantasma and the Black Lips).

“What’s the deal with everyone so in love with some generic 50’s garage rock with a southern twang. I thought HEALTH was way cooler and way more interesting although I’ll admit they’re probably better suited for a dark dingy inside venue. Their market hotel show was amazing.” [DM]

If you missed HEALTH, they are back on tour in September with Pictureplane. Tickets are still on sale for a September 24th show at Bowery Ballroom (much more dark and dingy and mutant eel-free). More pictures from the Watefront, with all tour dates, below…
