NYC summer outdoor concert guide

August 9: Simian Mobile Disco | Jelly Pool Parties at the Williamsburg Waterfront | FREE!

Once upon a time, there was a quirky, electronically inclined indie-pop band known as Simian. They released a couple of critically well-receivedCDs on the Astralwerks label, but never exactly burned up the blogosphere or Billboard charts. Then in 2003, French heavy metal disco duo Justice retooled their tune “Never Be Alone” into “We Are Your Friends,” which blew up into one of the biggest dance tracks of the past decade. Simian the band soon disintegrated, with members Simon William Lord and James Anthony Shaw forming the decidedly danceable Simian Mobile Disco. TICKET INFO.
