A Not So Lazy Sunday at Slackgaze’s Slackfest
50 bands in three days on two stages in the backyard of a Bushwick apartment sounds insanely ambitious, a feat that could only be pulled off by fervent music lover and founder of Slackgaze, Winston Scarlett. At Bushwick DIY-rate prices ($10 for the day or $20 for a three day pass), the fun was a steal and made for a festive crowd. Arriving on the tail end of the final day, I found Slackfest-goers to still be in high spirits and managed to capture a bit of the Sunday funday action including sets by Chimes, Milk Dick, The Big Drops, The Due Diligence, and The Lake Effect*.
Bravo to all the performers and to Scarlett, good sir, I tip my hat. Now come on already, tell us, when’s the next one?
