Northside Festival Day 1 Roundup

Finally! The Northside Festival, Brooklyn’s far more intimate and relaxed version of SXSW has started. Aside from short ways between the events, we also enjoy that the action takes place in some of our favorite venues.

SONG PICK: Empara Mi – Wanderlust

3 Is A Band: Joseph
