Indie rockers Yo La Tengo headlined yesterday’s final Sunday Pool Party at McCarren Pool, ending a series that’s filled Williamsburg with music on summer Sunday afternoons for three years. GL’s new Music Correspondent Katie Lee Rush shot all the photos above. She described the show as “crowded, but not packed,” noting that there was still room for a few people to have attended. She writes:

Until Yo La Tengo came on, most party goers were seated or lying down on beach mats from the Topshop booth. During YLT’s set, there was room for a body between people, but only near stage. You could still find empty patches of about 5 feet around outer edges of pool and above. Yo La Tengo sounded gritty and slightly droning, but played thoughtfully crafted rock n roll. It was humming, never overflowing, with intensity, as they played soft, poppy songs. There was not a ton of jumping up and down, or enthusiastic dancing, or singing along, but thousands of pairs of eyes focused, maybe captivated, by the subtle rock legends.

And so it ended, but Jelly NYC’s Alexander Kane told Katie that “We’re gonna be doing this next year on the [Williamsburg] waterfront. We’re gonna have fun next summer, too.”
