Siren Fest Blares in Brooklyn Saturday

Tomorrow, rain or shine, the hipsters will return to Brooklyn’s Coney Island to mate and play like so many migrating swallows. Yes, folks, it’s time for the fifth annual Village Voice-sponsored Siren Music Festival. Austin, Texas darlings Spoon are headlining the main stage, fresh off the release of their fifth album, Gimme Fiction. Other highlights of SPIN.com’s coverage will be former Bands of the Day Mates of State (read more) and Nine Black Alps (read more). We’ll also be focusing on part of the Canadian invasion, the Dears. Ambulance Ltd. are sure to be hometown favorites, while Nashville’s Be Your Own Pet have the gift of buzz-worthy youth. The mean age of BYOP is about 16. The action kicks off at Coney Island neigh on 1 P.M., so don’t be late for the rock. Check back to SPIN.com on Monday morning for full coverage of the debaucherous Siren weekend!
