If you’ve ever dreamed about a festival that combines the best food, drink, and music that New York has to offer, your dreams have finally come true. The Great GoogaMooga is a brand new food, drink, and music celebration created by Superfly Presents (the folks behind Bonnaroo) that’s being touted as “an amusement park of food & drink”. It’s promising to be the first real “can’t miss” event of the summer so make it out to Prospect Park this weekend, stuff your face with delicious food, and catch some pretty spectacular bands while you’re at it.
Of course, there’s more going on this week than GoogaMooga. Quite a lot more. If you’re able to get out of work on the early site this Wednesday, swing by (le) poisson rouge for The Barr Brothers and Kishi Bashi. Then you’ll know exactly why we listed it as our #1 show of the week. See below for more info on shows from Beach House, Ty Segall, Caveman, and more.
Thanks for checking out our suggested New York City indie concerts list! We won’t list everything that’s going on — just a short collection of great shows happening in our city that you shouldn’t miss this week. And to make it as easy for you as possible, you can listen to all the bands and sometimes get some free MP3s!
