(Drivebycuriosity) - Punk is still alive and kicking. Yesterday my wife and I attended "Punk Island", an annual free of charge festival, celebrating the rougher kind of rock music with New York bands. The event had moved again - after Staten Island, Governors Island & Randall`s Island - it happened on the American Veterans Memorial Pier in South Brooklyn.
Apparently the tiny location was plan B (brooklynvegan). The event was originally plant in a park in Brooklyn, but apparently NIMB politics had forced the organizers to move elsewhere.
They had to downsize from 5 to 3 stages and reduced the number of bands. Randall`s Island had 7 stages in 2017.
As a result the crowd was much smaller than at former Punk Islands and there was not much jump dancing. But anyway we had a lot of fund and I could should some photos which I present here.
Stay tuned
