Screaming Females To Open For Ted Leo At 4Knots Kickoff Show

The kickoff party for the 4Knots Music Festival—a prelude to July 16's big fest, headlined by Ted Leo and the Pharmacists—takes place at South Street Seaport's Pier 17 on July 9, and is it going to start off with a bang: Opening the show will be shred-happy New Brunswick trio Screaming Females, whose sheer greatness has been chronicled in this space before.
