Monsta Island

For those sojourning to the city this weekend this sounds tight, but slightly overwhelming:

Monster Island Arts and Music Festival

"A free day of open-house art shows, BBQ, karaoke, film, and music out near the water at tightly knit art and performance spaces in Brooklyn. DIY-rock impresario Todd P showcases a smattering of off-kilter but hard-lining Brooklynite bands, including screechy howlers Big A little a and, for the cuddlier among us, indie outfit Tiger Streifen, who offer electro-fortified anthropomorphic ditties about life in a zoo."

Date: Saturday, Sept. 8th
Time: 2-10 p.m.
Place: 210 Kent Avenue. Brooklyn, NY 11211
