Out In The Streets Fest Is A Friend Fest At The Well In Brooklyn

You ever feel like you found something great before everyone else did? Out In The Streets Festival is like a sweet, hidden cove of music that could really grow to become a big name fest through the years. Playing at The Well, it had the right mix of festival that I enjoy; intimate, colorful, and relaxed.

I have been to a lot of festivals, and have found the smaller the better. There is a certain energy boost that comes from having everything accessible, and with only one stage, Out In The Streets was certainly that. With family games like jenga and toss the hacky-sack, people ignited their inner kid, and I hope that next year more of such games are around because it made the festival feel like, a cool, “bar-day”. The fest was, technically, in the back of a massive bar, and though funkily and elaborately decorated with graffiti, having one of Brooklyn’s top bars next door, The Well, gave it a relaxed feel, especially during the day. Out In The Streets is 100% a “friend-fest”, and I believe it was because of its setting. With picnic tables abound, people were constantly moving from the stage to seated conversations with buddies, which made the whole time feel too chill to be compared to other treks/music festivals, but also too fun to be tossed as just “another day”. Moreover, Out In The Streets Fest invited some of the top indie music acts you know and, at least, would want to know about, especially for moment when you want to rave.

The irony of Out In The Streets Festival is that many of its acts were high energy compared to the scene they were playing to. Yet, that, in itself, added a layer of calm and ease to them. Every act such as, Tall Juan, Monogold, Pink Mexico, Suburban Living, and Crush Club brought different flavors of dynamism that said in nearly every song “Don’t Sit Down! Jump To MOON!”, but yet the ambiance was one to lay out. In turn, it caused the artists to amp up even more. What was created, instead, was an atmosphere where artists could entertain without the fear or self-consciousness that comes when you know you need to give a show. We had delivered ourselves as an audience that had come for an experience…. that is it. Losing all that pressure, in some ways, converted the crowd into their friends with a “beerful” of fun. Moreover, it made the atmosphere standout with each artist feeling like shooting star briskly taking and passing over the stage, of which a few came to hang out. Thus, for a fest where you can hang out with friends and the band, and for a 25 dollar festival worth 100 ….look no further than Out In The Streets by Clicking Here for more info.
