Vans have been doing their House Parties series at the House of Vans in Brooklyn for a few years now. Each summer, they get some pretty decent acts to come do free shows over on Franklin Street. This summer already kicked off with a show from The Rapture and Tanlines a couple weeks back. The reason this really caught my eye was the final show of the 2012 summer calendar, taking place on August 29th, has Turbonegro headlining. It’s kinda set up like the Mad Decent Block Party, where you RSVP in advance. You can do that over here. This summer schedule is set up below.
- Thursday, July 12th: H20, 7 Seconds, and Tournament
- Thursday, July 26th: King Khan & The Shrines, Nicky Da B, and The Everymen
- Thursday, August 2nd: Washed Out, Chairlift, and Lemonade
- Thursday, August 16th: Cursive, Titus Andronicus, Love As Laughter, and Joyce Manor
- Wednesday, August 29th: Turbonegro, Baroness, Doomriders, and Nightbirds
