Siren


Memories fade and are replaced with high rise hotels as the nostalgic boardwalk of Coney Island prepares for what may be the final Village Voice sponsored Siren Music Festival. The rusty old rides, rich with character and history are set to go into the hellish little cuccoon of construction and come out the fabulous butterfly of indoor air conditioned family fun. Like much of Manhattan, Brooklyn and even Queens, Coney Island will become taller, glassier, and whiter within the coming year. A small sampling of what is hopefully not the last line up follows.

MP3 Stranded in the Jungle - New York Dolls
MP3 Keep A Friend - Dr. Dog
MP3 Yea Yeah - Matt & Kim

To find songs from the rest of the Siren line up, try going here.
