Ariel Pink, Mongolian Contortionists and 12 Liberty Ponies

THE ROCK & ROLL CIRCUS


Ariel Pink

The Rock & Roll Circus happened over two days in Lincoln Center's Damrosch Park. Punks be Not Proud--a photo essay with pictures of Japanther's performance that ended prematurely--can be viewed on BlackBook.com. Day 1 had performances by the So So Glos, The Pharmacy and Japanther. Day 2 had Ariel pink, Aska + Nick Zinner, Saint Motel and Amazing Baby. While you can see a photo essay up on BlackBook as well, here are more photos of the 2nd night.
