Hooves on the Turf

Despite the Manhattan skyline and the presence of some grass, the Waterfront is no McCarren Pool; but Jelly NYC’s free Pool Parties are still a solid Sunday option. I was looking forward to see Health for the first time, and was more than pleased with their multiple drumming and seductive dancing. I haven’t quite gotten into The Black Lips, but their young fans put on an adventurous show–body-surfing, stage-diving, slamming the barriers against the stage, flipping the security guards, throwing a ukulele over one song in (which got smashed into bits within a few seconds.

The weather was on board for most of the day, but thunder and lightning eventually rolled on, and Trail of Dead’s set got canceled for safety reasons.
