Hooray for summer! Time for bikinis, beers, bean…dips… and Battle of NYC Boroughs! On Friday the sixth, ten bands are participating in Manhattan’s Battle of Boroughs, the preliminary round for the Ultimate Battle, and a chance at the opening slot for this year’s SummerStage festival. The winner is determined by audience vote, so your attendance is necessary. Featured bands include West Side Five, Ethan Mann, Genghis Barbie (top picture), Lounis Ait Menguelet, Jay Stone, Snehasish Mozumder, Scrambler Seequill (see crazy/awesome video below), John Brodeur, Andy Suzuki & The Method, and Ben Tyree. The show will be at The Jerome L. Greene Performance Space at WNYC 44 Charlton Street. More event info here. – Caitlin Clive
