Top Shows (BangOn! Day Party, Pancakes & Whiskey, Dildos???)

Oi, we’ve got the August blues. The summer is in its dog days and the days of roaming the streets in next to nothing are feeling extra ephemeral during this humidity wave (we’ll stop talking now). In the end,  it’s going to end to matter what. So what if the sidewalk stinks? Get your ass to a show.

#1 ELEMENTS Outdoor Music & Art Festival 2015 @ 691 Colombia St, Gowanus (SAT 1PM, $30-60)

BangOn! is one of the most accessible rage vibes in all of NYC- and Saturday they take their party godliness over to Red Hook, where they host Elements, an all-day beach party on the waterfront with some really serious musicians- Shpongle, Paper Diamond, and XXYYXX. What else? We’ll tell you what else: 4 stages- Earth/Wind/Water/Fire, large-scale themed art installations, 3D projection mapping, death-defying aerial performances, magnificent art cars, decadent food trucks, exotic clothing/jewelry vendors, rides, slides, circus performances, and “an entire new world to experience.” If you can’t make it to the day jammer, the afterparty is just a stone’s throw from Bushwick at The Wick/The Well.
