Beach Fossils, Suckers, DeathSet, Ninjasonik & many others playing Water Taxi Beach in LIC on 4th of July

Suckers in Prospect Park the other day (more by David Andrako)

Mishka, Etnies and something called SEEN (located at seenallover.com) are co-presenting a BBQ/party on Long Island City’s Water Taxi Beach (dubbed “Red, White & Brews”) this 4th of July. Confirmed music includes Suckers, Beach Fossils, The Death Set and Ninjasonik. There are also lots of DJs and they’re promising a “Very Special End Of The Night Performance”.

Add this one to the list of music events happening this 4th of July in NYC.

A flyer, more details on the party and all Beach Fossils dates are below…

We’ve slowly but surely been amping up the magnitude of our parties and after our Los Angeles Opening Party, we knew we had to do something B-I-G back home in New York. And what better time to try that then on the 4th of July?

The party will also be celebrating the launch of a fantastic new website by our dear friends at SEEN. A site that yours truly [My Pal The Crook] will be blogging for on the regular. What is SEEN? Well, all shall be revealed soon enough. But I will say this… you may want to bookmark http://www.seenallover.com/ now…

(Subject: 4th of July)
1pm – 1am
Long Island City Water Taxi Beach
54-32 2nd St.
LIC, NY

ALL AGES! ZERO TOLLERANCE POLICY FOR UNDERAGE DRINKING ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES AND OUTSIDE FOOD AND DRINKS!

So, what’s going to be happening at this lavish bash you ask? Well… we’re not ready to let that cat out of the bag just yet. But I will tell you that we have an amazing line-up of bands and DJs along with some stellar secret surprises (we can’t publicly announce yet) that we’ll be revealing in the coming weeks. But if you’ve been to one of our big bashes, you know you won’t be disappointed in who we bring in!

What I can tell you is that the party will be held outdoor at the incredible Water Taxi Beach (yes it’s an actual beach, well man made) over in Long Island City, Queens. Seriously, imagine the 4th on the beach with a beautiful Manhattan skyline, fireworks, some brews and your crew as amazing bands and DJs give you the soundtrack of a lifetime.

And as if that wasn’t enough, The CBLDF (Comic Book Legal Defense Fund) will be hosting a Live Art Stage featuring Tara McPherson, Molly Crabapple, Khary Randolf, and others. There will also be a display of custom Etnies sneakers featuring original art from Eric Powell, ?????, Jill Thompson, Lisa Hanawalt, David Mack and more!

But you know what the truly best part of it all is? It’s FREE. Yes FREE.

Stay tuned for more details and start RSVPing now!
