Rock Yard

Jelly's new Saturday series of free summer shows kicked off Saturday afternoon at their new outdoor space they've called Rock Yard. Originally a bit lacking in the exciting lineup department, the show suddenly became much more tempting when they announced the addition of Thee Oh Sees after the Seaport show (which by the way meant that last year Thee Oh Sees played Siren and this year they were coincidentally competing with it). And there was slip 'n slide.....

Les Slip n Slide @ McCarren Pool - Aug 3, 2008 (by Bill Pearis)
Tim Harrington

Just like on July 9, 2006 when Les Savy Fav played the first concert at McCarren Pool, indie rock barber Tim Harrington could be found trying out the slip-n-slide (this time with his child) at today's Black Lips / Deerhunter / King Khan show. More coverage of today's Pool Party coming soon...

McCarren Pool - June 29, 2008 (more by Kyle Dean Reinford)

Gothamist: Do you have spaces in mind for similar shows next year?

Sarah Hooper (JellyNYC): Yes we do, The Open Space Alliance, Parks Department and even Marty Markowitz's office has been very clear that there will be a space for concerts no matter what in Williamsburg. It looks more and more like that will become the Williamsburg waterfront, but I'm just hoping wherever it is that it's a little less hot than 50,000 square feet of concrete! It literally is at the point where we all look like we're at a waterpark all day from trying to stay cool--either a quick juant down the Slip 'n Slide,a bottle of water over the head, or finding whichever sponsor has provided a misting fan and sitting there until I'm soaked!

Any prospects for a space that you can talk about?

As well, since there is no McCarren next year, we have decided to take Pool Parties national....

The Hold STeady @ McCarren Pool

"hold steady came on around 5:45, play until around 7ish. weather cleared up for their great set." [jkov]

"They played a holy fuckload of the new album, and as one who tries to avoid iTunes and is thus waiting for its proper release the show was hard to get into." [Tito]

McCarren Park Pool

As Gothamist and Curbed have pointed out, McCarren Park Pool will be back for at least one more summer of concerts in 2008. After that? Other stuff.

You remember the McCarren Pool slip N' slide right? Well, yesterday (Sunday, July 8, 2007) at the Dan Deacon/Erase Errata/Octopus Project show they must have announced 'last call' or something, because all of a sudden....
