Do not go to Siren Fest hungover! This should be a rule that’s written on the post because it is a pretty awful feeling to stand in the sun on one of the warmest days of the year when you were drinking till 4am the previous night. Yeah, sometimes my decision making is not what it’s supposed to be at this point in my life, but I did my best to battle the hangover and my sudden aversion to the sun to see a few of the bands I had really wanted to see.

First on the list was Micachu & the Shapes, a band that wowed us when we saw them at Pianos and have woven their spell on us with their terrific debut album Jewellery. It’s a bit weird seeing this three piece band on an outdoor stage in the middle of the day, not because their music is out of place it actually fits pretty well in the Coney Island sun, but they are such tiny, pale people that it almost seemed they have never seen the sun and almost disappear on a large stage. Micah Levi did her best to keep us entertained by it kind of drifted by instead of taking us over in the expansive space.
