Fans of Montreal indie rockers Islands (ex Unicorns members) take note!

The band will play an outdoor show at New York Magazine's Backyard BBQ to be held on 08.23.08 at the Solar One Green Energy, Arts & Education Center located at the East river waterfront and 23rd Street.

"We've challenged a top chef to feed your tummy at our first-ever Backyard BBQ event. We've given him the ingredients and space to prepare a feast for hundreds. Is he up to the challenge? You better believe it. Tell your friends, grab a blanket and come on out to this one-of-a-kind party. Look for a full-set performance by Islands, and enjoy FREE BEER all day."

Did someone say FREE BEER all day? Not to mention, you get a full year subscription to New York Mag with the purchase of a ticket. Get 'em while they're hot.

For anyone not familiar with Islands, checkout their Wikipedia profile, their official site, and their MySpace, where you can get more tour dates and test drive a few songs.. "
