The McCarren Park Pool Parties: An Oral History

Photo of the audience taken August 3, 2008 during the JellyNYC Pool Party show featuring Black Lips, Deerhunter, and King Khan and the Shrines.

Writer Patrick Sauer conducted an oral history of the McCarren Park Pool Parties that took place the summers of 2006 through 2008. For those three years, free shows took place every Sunday and I was lucky enough to document most of them.

The oral history regarding this concert series went live today can be found here. A giant set of photos I took during the Pool Parties is available on Flickr. Additionally, Fluxblog’s Matthew Perpetua created a Pool Parties inspired playlist that can be found here.
