Fucked Up

Lineups for Brooklyn’s Northside Festival are coming together— and some of the bigger shows (that aren’t at Music Hall) are going to be at Greenpoint’s Newtown Barge Park. First, Titus Andronicus, Cults and a special guest play an afternoon (1pm) show on Saturday, June 26th. Later that night, Liars, Fucked Up and High Places play the space (6pm). Then the next night (6/27, 6pm), Les Savy Fav performs with Polvo and Grails. Tickets to all three are on sale now. The shows are all ages (badges, which you must be 21+ to purchase, get you in too, capacity permitting).

Northside writes that the shows will be the first at the 1,500-capacity park space. Newtown Barge Park is a triangle of land at the corner of Franklin and Commercial Streets, and is part of the proposed plan (PDF) to expand Williamsburg/Greenpoint’s waterfront park space.

The BrooklynVegan Northside show takes place the same Saturday as Titus –> Fucked Up/Liars, but at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Doors for that are 8pm, and it goes later. Tickets are now on sale.

Titus may DO NOT have another Brooklyn show coming up, on Thursday, June 3rd at Glasslands with Boogie Boarder. It has been cancelled. It was supposed to be a benefit for Neighbors Allied for Good Growth, a group frontman Patrick Stickles has talked about before…

Pitchfork: Best Purchase of the Past Year

Patrick Stickles: We can’t take too much pride in the things we that own, can we? If I can get on my soapbox for a minute…. Isn’t it much more important not what things we bought, but where we bought them? I’d love for you to remind your Brooklyn-based readership that they should make a point of not supporting the new Duane Reade that’s moving in across the street from the historic Kings Pharmacy on Bedford Avenue. If you’d pass that along I’d appreciate that a lot. You can read a lot more about it at the website of this community group called Neighbors Allied for Good Growth. We all need to remember to vote with our dollars and take a stand for locally owned independent businesses, because that’s what makes American capitalism great.

Maybe they’ll reschedule it at a later date.

Grails has a new EP coming out. Grab an MP3 from that.

Fucked Up recently posted a new song that’ll appear on a 12″ split with Serena-Maneesh. You can get it above. Also, Damian from Fucked Up has been Internet debating the new Arizona immigration laws with fellow Canadian band Stars via Twitter and Stereogum.
