The Audio Perv

By Michel Dussack

New York City is always filled with free concerts during the summer, and 2012 has been no exception to that rule. This past Saturday, Converse sponsored a free show featuring Mr. Dream, Jel, Rye Rye, and Sleigh Bells at Hudson River Park which is right on the Hudson River at Pier 63. Being that Sleigh Bells is a band that I’ll drop anything to see, I made sure to grab a pair of tickets early on. The band ripped through a 55 minute set that included 16 songs from both of their albums at the scenic, and perfectly set up venue. I’m happy to report that, thanks to a natural slope in the park, sightlines were perfect throughout and the sound didn’t waver even in the back. Here’s some photos of the show (sadly I missed Mr. Dream’s performance) and be sure to check out The Kills at Hudson River Park next month!
