Northside Festival Coverage: Guided By Voices, Wavves, Sharon Van Etten

The Alternate Side's ace photo team of Joe Grimaldi and Bailey Baffert made it their mission to cover as much of this past weekend's Northside Festival as possible.

Below, more festive Brooklyn visuals of Guided By Voices and Wavves' McCarren Park outing on Saturday, June 18, and Sharon Van Etten's rainy gig opening for Beirut (where she was joined by The National's Aaron Dessner on three songs) on Friday, June 17.

Van Etten, who told The Alternate Side earlier this year that her next album is produced by Dessner, has a handful of September dates, including the Bumbershoot Festival on September 5 and the Hollywood Bowl with The National and Neko Case on September 11. Wavves play Chicago's Wicker Park Fest in July, but return to New York to play the East River Amphitheater on August 25. Guided By Voices have lined up gigs this summer too, including the Pitchfork Festival on July 15.
