LIVE AT THE GANTRIES, a series of six free outdoor concerts, will return to the waterfront, featuring Queens-based musical groups at Gantry Plaza State Park in Long Island City, Queens.
The Beets, from Jackson Heights, Queens, sound like the emotional sing-alongs you and your friends had in college, if you and your friends had been musical geniuses reinventing 1960s garage rock with poppy no-fi tracks. Their songs are short and catchy and packed with emotive, poetic lyrics, more inspired by the Beatles and the Ramones than the current indie scene.
