The annual and free Siren Festival takes over Coney on 7/15. Brooklyn Vegan has been doing his homework and believes this to be the line-up:
Scissor Sisters
Stars
Tapes ‘n Tapes [bloggers like them!]
Art Brut
Dirty on Purpose
The Stills
Deadboy & The Elephantmen
The Rogers Sisters
The Cribs
Celebration
She Wants Revenge
Priestess
Man Man
Rumored 14th act is Serena Maneesh. Or Haunted Pussy. This year I’m gonna kick Jess Gawker’s ass in Dance Dance Revolution. Been studying my Bees and everything.

Is it Siren or just indie rock in general that gets worse every year? Man.
Bring back the Dirtbombs.
how does she wants revenge sleep at night?
That’s actually a really weak line up, althought I would like to see stars and the stills…
looking forward to finally catching art brut. am i the only one in town who hasn’t seen them?
i’ve seen priestess before though. very glad to see them added to this to add something else to the lineup. tremendously real, unpretentious rock band that’s all about “songs” and umm..rock..and fun…
beer and weenies far all!
I’m excited for Scissor Sisters, Art Brut, The Rogers Sisters and Celebration. I think they’ll actually have enough charisma for daytime rocking (many good bands don’t).
i’m pretty sure serena maneesh is confirmed as well as i saw a print ad with her name on it… and yeah, weak.
anything that involves man man is automatically awesome.
Time to show some love for Desdemona… Ghostface Killah, The Walkmen, Annie, The Fiery Furnaces, The Stills, Stellastarr*, Mates of State, Radio 4, We are Scientists, Rogue Wave, Enon, Heartless Bastards, Forget Cassettes, Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s, VHS or Beta Dee Jays, Northern State, and more…
Not free, but not bad at $24 for all 3 days…
Sorry, done plugging now.
Desdemona is gonna be awesome… CMJ festival in cleveland june 15th-18th. Dirtbombs, Detroit cobras, stills, dr dog… all that good shit. Then Kyahoga fest on august 3rd: wolfmother, death cab, flaming lips and, uh, death cab.
Deadboy is reason enough to go to siren.
… And I cant believe I accidentally mentioned death cab twice, when I was debating on leaving them out of the post entirely. Perhaps I am a subconcious fan.
jealous. fun line-up for sures.
The Cribs!
i dunno, siren seems ok this year. I saw Art Brut once (hah) and they were great. And the Stars are good in concert too. Does anyone know if TV on the Radio is performing anywhere else in NY besides Prospect Park?
For anyone interested in more concerts i found this online:
