Yet again, another big, cool fest going on in New York for the weekend of July 4. Last week, I wrote a story about the Upset The Rhythm party going on July 3 in New York, and now the Woodsist/Captured Tracks fest is announced for the same day. Looks like there's some tough competition going on here.
The Woodsist/Captured Tracks festival will feature, obviously, many of the artists who each label represents, which is made up of some of today's best underground rock bands. Woodsist will be bringing the newly signed Matador dude Kurt Vile, as well as Blank Dogs, Woods, Vivian Girls, Psychedelic Horseshit, Thee Oh Sees, Real Estate, and Crystal Stilts; meanwhile, Captured Tracks will showcase a few of the same bands (also on its roster), as well as Dum Dum Girls, The Fresh & Onlys, Brilliant Colors, and a few others. Also appearing are Tyvek and caUSE co-MOTION!, who to my knowledge neither label has released... yet?? On both days, you will be able to buy limited-edition, festival-only merchandise from Woods, Blank Dogs, The Fresh & Onlys, and ZODIACS!
