Live: Braving The Humidity To See Titus Andronicus, High Places, Ducktails, And More At The Northside Festival
Whew, what a whirlwind of a weekend! The L Magazine hosted the 2nd-annual Northside Festival, a major throwdown of bands, art, film, and more bands, all packed into multiple venues across Williamsburg and Greenpoint from Thursday through Sunday. Starting with Thursday night's kick-off party with Wavves, we partook of a lot of it--here's a taste of the (notably hot and sweaty) scene, direct from the front lines. While Vice's Creators Project blowout was a decidedly Manhattan affair complete with (slightly) cooler temperatures and fancy cocktails, much of the Northside Fest was DIY Brooklyn through and through. Yeah, we're talking humid warehouses and Miller High Life in a can.

Something about New Jersey rock makes youthful men mosh.

WOOM. Tambourine, guitar, effects, vocals, suggestive moves. 
A giant industrial fan did little more than blow hair around.

Fans. 
Devotion is when you chose bands and humidity over an airy breeze. 
Andrew Cedermark is inclined to plug his ears during Big Trouble's set. (They play loud.)
