The 2005 Village Voice Siren Festival | Pics

The 2005 Village Voice Siren Festival in Coney Island went down on Saturday July 16th, 2005. It didn’t rain.

SAUL WILLIAMS

I got there in time to see the last few songs of the Dears on the main stage then ran to catch the second half of Morningwood’s set followed by all of Diamond Nights on the Stillwell stage. Then it was back to the main stage for the first half of Dungen, and then back to Stillwell for the second half of Saul Williams before going back to the main stage to see most of Brendan Benson followed by the first 30 minutes of Spoon afterwhich I ran back to Stillwell to watch some of Mates of State. I ended back at the main stage to finish off Spoon’s set.

SPOON

Saul Williams’ incredibly powerful performance was my highlight of the day, though Spoon was definitely the right choice for headliner.
