Bands in Parks
 

Post pictures and some commentary, if you like, of your favourite bands in parks, gardens, woodland etc.

The hosts as shot by the great Carlos van Hijfte:

Cool or what?

This is some Steve Shelley in ... erm ... a park. With a T-Shirt.

People generally hold their beer bottle/can for the camera, so that everyone can see the brand they like, not DIY Sonic Youth tees made by Brian Turner in his spare time. 10+ to slavo for posting that.

Knock knock!
Who's there?
Genesis P-Orridge!
Genesis P-Orridge who?
Genesis P-Orridge you glad I didn't say 'Banana'?

Skinny Puppy - circa Too Dark Park



although no grass is depicted, there's a good chance that they are on it.

What a lovely picture, when/where is this from?

You've not posted for a few days, Nefeli. Doing something nice, I hope?

Work's a drag right now, but I'm fine apart from that.



Fugazi @ Fort Reno Park, Washington DC

I'm rather disappointed that I haven't found any photos online of Black Flag at Pollywog Park. I'm sure there are some.

I have a feeling, though, that the Sensational Fix book contains a photo of Kim at said show.


EDIT:

Vivian Girls



It might be a park, I'm not sure.

And pictures of C86 bands in parks are always going to be quite easy to find. here's the pastels:



I bet there's a picture out there somewhere of Talullah Gosh playing on the swings.



What about "bands on the beach"? Is that allowed? Or does that need a different thread?

Olivia Tremor Control

from Arthurfest at Barnsdall Park

this is a great photo

Yes.

I got it off Carlos van Hijfte's facebook. He took some amazing pictures of many bands, including a terrific Joy Division one. I don't know the name of the location, I'll ask him.
