Celebrate Canada Day with Music: Stars, New Pornographers, The Sadies
_Saturday, June 25, 7:30 pm _Celebrate Brooklyn! _Prospect Park _Info: (718) 855-7882, ext. 45
Celebrate Brooklyn! and the Canadian Consulate General begin the lead-up to July 1, Canada`s birthday, with this all-star, indie-rock mini-festival of Canadian bands. Stars are at the forefront of a sizzling Montreal music scene, and their critically acclaimed new album, Set Yourself on Fire, is currently setting the music world ablaze with its brainy, baroque melodicism. New Pornographers (featuring Neko Case on vocals) is a supergroup of pop-music wizards from Vancouver. Their most recent stateside release, Electric Version, an album of summery melodic flourishes and sugary hooks, has been celebrated as a power-pop masterstroke by American critics. The Sadies, a kind of jam-band hybrid of spaghetti (south)western sounds and sixties groove rock, are a thrilling live band, just right to kick off this great night of Canadian music.
Admission is free. How very very lovely.
