Reminder: tonight, Councilman Recchia’s Tuesday night “concert” series switches gears, and will be showing Mamma Mia! The Movie at 8pm.
On Thursday, The B-52s will be bringing the free concert as part of the Summer Seaside Concerts. They will be joined by the former Go-Gos frontwoman Belinda Carlisle, because she’s awesome, too. That show starts at 7:30pm.
Asser-Levy Seaside Park is located at on Surf Avenue at West 5th Street.

The Village Voice has filled out the 14-band lineup for the 2010 Siren Festival with Holy Fuck and more. For the uninitiated: yes, Holy Fuck is a real band name. OK, so it isn’t the most popular or revered band in the lineup, but it is the most fun to say. (Go ahead – give it a try.) The Siren Festival takes place all day on Saturday, July 17, on two stages (W. 10th Street between the Cyclone and Luna Park, and Stillwell Avenue) near the Boardwalk. The full lineup is posted below and at the Village Voice.
In related news, The B-52s will be playing at the Thursday night concert series at Asser-Levy Seaside Park this August, but the Borough President’s office doesn’t want you to know that.
Marty Markowitz announced a Seaside Summer Concert Series lineup that includes Aretha Franklin, Belinda Carlisle, Brenda Lee, and George Thorogood & The Destroyers to a crowd at the YM-YWHA Israel festival last week. The full schedule is below, and the full details are available at news blog Sheepshead Bites.
As stated in the article, Markowitz asked Bites not to include the B-52s in the published lineup, for fear that the announcement may negatively impact sales of their July 6 appearance at the Highline Ballroom, a Manhattan music venue. But thanks to an “anonymous” commenter on Sheepshead Bites and “another” source contacted by BK Southie – “both” attendees of the YM-YWHA event – that information is now freely available.
On a personal note, I am glad to see Markowitz sees news bloggers such as Ned Berke at Sheepshead Bites as being on par with traditional media such as newspaper and TV reporters, and therefore expects bloggers to keep his secrets (especially publicly-announced secrets) from their readership, just like a traditional media reporter would.
