Village Voice Picks Obscure Names Out of Hat for Fest

Village Voice Picks Obscure Names Out of Hat for Fest

Posted Wednesday, May 7th 2008 by Scott Harrell

Maura Johnston over at my favorite music blog, Idolator, has let loose with the lineup for this year's Siren Festival, that Village Voice-sponsored shindig out on Coney Island that hipsters all over the country only remember they totally wanted to fly up for after it's already started. Get ready to start pretending you only like the first album by a bunch of bands you've actually never heard, because after headliners The Jicks and Broken Social Scene (and The Helio Sequence, a band that once showed an awesome proclivity for blowing Modest Mouse off the stage), things get pretty damn indie/weird:

Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks

Broken Social Scene

The Helio Sequence

Times New Viking

Jaguar Love

The Dodos

Annuals

Parts & Labor

Dragons of Zynth

These Are Powers

Actually, when you take 'em all together, you could probably make a hell of a Mad Lib about swords 'n' sorcery. The shindig goes down July 19, and is freeFREEfree.
