Your SAK correspondent seems to (hopefully temporarily) mistakenly degraded the quality of the photos he took at the WBAR-B-Q on Friday, but since BrooklynVegan seems to have been blinded by the glory that is Coachella to the exclusion of all else, the decision has been made to put up a report on the free indie rockstravaganzas happened above 100th street in Manhattan on a day that turned surprisingly cold after the sun set.

The highlight among the eight or so acts caught was likely Awesome Color, who’s record your SAK correspondent has had for a while but not-at-all absorbed. Regardless, the string-bending, amp-scrapping-and-tossing antics of the three-piece’s singer/guitarist, decked out in Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers tee, were as engaging to watch as to listen to, and the drummer managed to tear through the psych-rock set with appreciably furious energy.

AWESOME COLOR
