Charlie Parker Jazz Festival takes place in Tompkins Square Park with the legendary Cedar Walton (w/ Quartet) among the scheduled acts.

After the Jump Fest brings a bill of Suckers (who just played Brooklyn Bowl), Julianna Barwick, Acrylics, The Octagon and more to Littlefield for the fest's last day.

The Cool Kids take over S.O.B.'s.

There's a free show with Das Racist and Cerebral Ballzy at Public Assembly.

The Dead Weather just performed some songs on Kimmel. Videos below...

What else?

"Pool Party"

"Forever My Queen" is a cover by the great PENTAGRAM, of course! Nice to see Bobby Liebling finally getting the credit he deserves - DW did it well.

Jay Z and Beyonce in the GB house tonight! They clearly love Grizzly Bear! It was sorta surreal watching Beyonce standing on a chair doing her sexy dance to Ed and Co.

Posted by blackhat | August 30, 2009 9:02 PM

while you wait for beyonce, to make it all worthwhile

Posted by Anonymous | August 30, 2009 9:26 PM

^-- yeah that was pretty cool, i was standing right next to them

Posted by bobby the rookie | August 30, 2009 9:31 PM

@Anon9:26 - No...it was worthwhile because I was enjoying a band I like on a beautiful Summer Sunday. As I said, the Beyonce thing was simply a surreal addition to an already enjoyable situation.

grizzly bear+ beach house+ jay z+beyonce+chuck schumer+mischa barton+waterfront+sunset+friends>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>lightning bolt in bushwick

11:55 I will admit I was actually at neither but I would say you are wrong.

Posted by Anonymous | August 31, 2009 12:07 AM

Jay-Z, Beyonce, Mischa Barton and Chuck Schumer with plenty of reported room on the inside and lines a mile long outside?!? This smells of back door deals to show someone that the waterfront can draw masses, and remain exclusive. Someone is definitely looking to make even more coin by pushing someone to invest something on the waterfront.

And BV please don't censor this post again.

thanksbye

I am never going to a free event in New York City ever again. You get what you pay for.

Posted by bill | August 31, 2009 12:25 AM

only on BV will people complain about an amazing free evening on the waterfront in the sun. ALl a bunch of idiots

Posted by Anonymous | August 31, 2009 12:31 AM

yeah 12:07, staying indoors in bushwick to watch lightning bolt IS much better than a free sunset show with jay z beyonce sightings and beach house grizzly bear tunes. REALLY REALLY FUN AND EXCITED. Nothing I could have seen any other week in BKLYN

Actually, bill is right. Free shows here blow. You do get what you pay for. Unless you're Jay Z and you don't pay for anything.

Free Grizzly Bear show outside with all of NYC there or pay a few bucks to see Lightning Bolt murder people? I'll take LB.

'You get what you pay for,' pray tell what you mean retard? Spend some more of mommy and daddy's money little bitch, clearly you don't pay for anything either and probably don't appreciate your parents too.
