Belle & Sebastian @ Celebrate Brooklyn, 7/11/2013
Belle & Sebastian

A packed Prospect Park Bandshell marked the return of Belle & Sebastian, who were joined by tourmates Yo La Tengo as part of a sold-out ticketed benefit for Celebrate Brooklyn! last night (7/11). The long-running pop band ran through material from their close-to 20-year career at the cool & shady outdoor venue, stopping to make anecdotes about the incredible weather, Scottish skin in the New York sun, and everyone’s favorite topic as of late, Citibikes.

Yo La Tengo (who have a new video) is a hell of a support act, and the band readied the crowd with their extensive and varied catalog, stopping to swap instruments and also remark on the excellent weather. So far no additional NYC dates for the NJ band, but maybe we’ll see them in Hoboken soon?

Great night all around. Head below for more pictures from a gorgeous night at Prospect Park.
