Onto another subculture: The 2009 Siren Music Festival, hosted out in Coney Island by the Village Voice. There was a great roster of international bands this year, from already-popular Built to Spill to cult faves (and fashion icons) the Raveonettes from Denmark and up-and-comers like Grand Duchy and Scotland’s Frightened Rabbit.
This being Coney Island, tattoos and quirky fashion were welcome. A number of concert goers – especially the women – pulled the look off with aplomb, even in 85-degree heat.

Did you have a chance to check out Monotonix? They were a riot!
They were pretty hilarious. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the crowd lift up a drummer with his drum set before, playing all the while. But we were disappointed that we couldn’t see anything since they were basically below eye level most of the time. Wanted to check out what kind of Borat-esque outfits they were wearing this time.
