Read our interview with The Raveonettes, who hit the Main Stage at 6pm, on Flavorwire.
This year, the Village Voice's Siren Fest evokes the gods of indie past, present, and future, with a strong lineup headlined by '90s alternative heroes Built to Spill. Other highlights include Frank Black's new band Grand Duchy, Scottish folk rockers Frightened Rabbit, and atmospheric shoegazers A Place to Bury Strangers. Arrive early to catch local faves Bear Hands (we knew it wouldn't be long, guys) and electro-pop punks Micachu & the Shapes. Also be sure to pack the sunblock and a bathing suit; it gets scorching out on the pavement, but you can always dip into the Atlantic for a quick cool-down. (Really, we were just there last week and it wasn't gross at all.)
