Islands at Siren Music Festival (07/19/2008)
Photos: Jon Klemm for Bumpershine/Siren Music Festival
Montreal’s Islands played the Siren Music Festival this year and I heard from a few folks that it was one of the best sets of the day. If you weren’t lucky enough to be at that show, the good news is (do you ever notice that that is one my “stock phrases”) that Islands are coming back to NYC on August 23 and playing the NY Mag sponsored High Brow BBQ at the Solar One Green Energy, Arts & Education Center. Jon took a lot of nice pictures of Islands at Siren and this post is more or less another excuse to post them way after the fact.
More photos and tour dates after the jump.
