If you happen to be in Brooklyn (or can find a cheap ticket to get out this week), you still have time to bite your teeth into one of the most anticipated festivals in music and film in BK.
Though the festival actually started on July 3rd, this week still is full of an eclectic variety of events and shows-- from the well known but less punk acts like J*Davey, the seductive and tempting troop Brown Girls Burlesque and favorites like The Noisettes.Here is a little sample of the schedule, but be sure to check out the website for more details and the rest of the events. Its going to be madness!
