New Music on the Blogs: Free NYC Concert Edition

Today is the free NYC concert edition of New Music on the Blogs. This weekend has enough free shows going on that some tough choices are going to have to be made. Here's the rundown of the ones I'm most into:

King Sunny Ade - Dele Davis [Celebrate Brooklyn African Festival]


Micachu - Lips (Astronomer Remix) [Siren Music Festival]


Dirty Projectors - Hyperballad (Bjork cover) [The Pool Parties]


Lee "Scratch" Perry - Pum Pum [Summerstage]

Finally, it's a not a free show, but The Very Best are playing at (Le) Poisson Rouge on Saturday night and it's going to be epic.
