Week 23: PNC's Summer of Indie with Drowners and The Joy Formidable

Every night there is something free happening on Fountain Square in the heart of downtown Cincinnati. There's trivia on Mondays, Fountain Feud game show on Tuesdays, reggae bands on Wednesday and salsa music and dance lessons on Thursday.

Friday, however, is my favorite night of the week on the Square because it's indie music night.

Last year I saw Sloan - one of my all-time favorite bands - on a rainy Friday and they were amazing.  SLOAN! For FREE! I'd have happily paid cash money to see Sloan (and actually have done so in the past) so this was pretty much perfect in every way.

There are big names playing every Friday this summer - Guided by Voices, Rev. Horton Heat, Cloud Cult and Kishi Bashi to name but a few. This weekend it was Drowners and The Joy Formidable.

I am a big fan of Drowners; JF not so much, but hey, free's free.
