Live Concert Photography: Union Pool and Academy Records Present Summer Thunder at Union Pool 6/9/24 feat. Bitchin Bajas and Gift Horse

Summer Thunder is a free weekly summer showcase, presented by Academy Records and the folks at Union Pool that features up-and-coming nationally and internationally touring acts and DJs at the Williamsburg hotspot and music venue’s back patio.

Throughout the course of the annual showcase’s run, Union Pool and Academy Records have regularly hosted the legendary avant-garde jazz outfit, Sun Ra Arkestra, the New York-based boogaloo, Latin soul and salsa composer, songwriter and pianist Joe Bataan, and an eclectic array of artists across a wide span of genres and styles.

I was at Union Pool this past Sunday to catch two shoegazey and trance-inducing electronic acts, Bitchin Bajas and Gift Horse. Check out photos from the showcase below.
