You may have heard about the Brain-Cave Festival, a local music festival going on next weekend in Greenpoint. The third iteration of the four-day rock fest, which features a plethora of indie bands, will take place next Thursday April 11 – Sunday April 14th at Europa. On the bill are some of our neighborhood favorites, like Monogold, Eula, Backwords, and Quiet Loudly, joined by headliners like NYC-via-Japan’s Peelander Z and San Francisco’s Lemonade. But, beyond the incredible bands that are playing, what exactly is “Brain-Cave”? We gained some insight into the indie festival from co-producer Gabo Rodriguez and founder Luis Velasquez who dished on the history of the fest, their collaboration with blog Greenpointers, and some surprises the fest has in store – including live art, free swag, and a nightly open bar!
