From the looks of it, a good portion of the population of New York City turned out to bid farewell to the Village Voice-sponsored Siren Music Festival this past weekend. After seven years of summer concerts on Coney Island, the Voice turns off the Siren, due to the massive renovations planned for the classic Brooklyn amusement park.

Celebrating the momentous occasion, fans were treated to sets by the New York Dolls, M.I.A., Cursive, Matt and Kim, Voxtrot, the Twilight Sad, Lavender Diamond, and the Black Lips, who trotted a chicken named 'Popcorn' out on stage, before firing feathers from a makeshift cannon into the audience. Good times.
