4th Street Arts presents “Shangri-La at The Pier”

 on the Hudson River in Jersey City, NJ.

The Details:

4th Street Arts, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is proud to present Shangri-La on the Pier Saturday, June 16th, 2012 at 3pm on the panoramic J. Owen Grundy Pier in Jersey City, NJ. The inaugural

Brooklyn’s Monogold will headline the event. The avant-indie trio has garnered national attention as of late for their complex, astonishing soundscapes. Asbury Park’s driving electronic power duo Brick and Mortar and pop synth Jersey native TEEEL will power the event’s lineup. Jersey City native sons The One and Nines and Thomas Francis Takes His Chances bring a fresh take on funk/soul and eclectic indie mayhem. Brooklyn’s Brums and Drass and I am the Heat will bring feet to the floor with both driving dance electronics and 60’s garage rock dance grooves. Central Jersey newcomer Hot Family round out the bill with their confounding, intense soundscapes. WPBR’s Motorfunker will be spinning throughout the day to keep the crowd moving. 

Along with one of the best views of the Statue of Liberty and the lower Manhattan skyline, food and drink will be served up throughout the event.

Local favorite and event sponsor, The Iron Monkey, located around the corner at 97 Greene Street Jersey City, NJ 07302 will host the official after-party with drink specials for ticketholders from 10:30 to 2:30.
