Malajube, The Stills, Sam Roberts played Prospect Park

Three bands from Montreal – Malajube, Sam Roberts Band and The Stills – played Prospect Park’s Celebrate Brooklyn series on the occassion of Canada Day. Out of all outdoor venues this summer, Prospect Park’s Bandhsell is perhaps the classiest (as reflected by the bill, which includes fine orchestras and jazz acts). Enclosed by lush trees, there’s plenty of shade, but most worth noting is the superior quality of sound. Rows and rows of chairs, however, (and a half-empty “members only” area in front of the stage) can seem awkward when a band like Malajube is playing- sitting and Malajube just don’t go together. But the patch of cool grass at the back is quite spacious, and by the time the Stills came on and evening turned into night, there was more getting up and dancing.
More after the jump.
