There’s something about anniversary shows that really gets a crowd going. Pressed against each other in the pit, hands swaying, chanting in time to favorite songs. What better way to celebrate 20 years of Interpol’sAntics than a 3-day sold out show at Brooklyn Steel? Longtime fans gathered for opening night on December 3. Ready to revel in the gritty, driving force of rich guitar playing and powerful lyricism.
Around since 1997, Interpol was formed under New York University doors, beginning with lead guitarist Daniel Kessler, frontman Paul Banks and drummer Greg Drudy. Their post-punk sound has become a staple amongst New Yorkers, emerging as a key rock revivalist of the early 2000s. In hopes to sound sleek and mysterious, they derived their name from The International Police Association, signing with Matador Records in 2002. Now, Interpol has played at a multitude of venues across the world, joined by Sam Fogarino on the drums.
With white sheer curtains draped across the front, a hush fell over the crowd as Interpol took stage a few minutes past 9:15pm. Opening with “Next Exit”, the band remained obscured. The crowd focused on projections of their silhouettes, jumping back and forth across the curtains. Once their second song, “Evil” reached crescendo, the lighting crew scrambled into the photo pit. The crew pulled back the expansive white sheet to reveal the band, dressed to the nines in black tailored suits.
After every song, fans whooped and hollered, dazed by the thick smoke and dramatic strobe lights. Lush storytelling balanced out catchy choruses, pairing with intricate guitar riffs to make a visually immersive performance. Their iconic color scheme of black, white and red alongside a sharp typeface held true. Non stop energy created through intriguing lighting choices and special effects.
As Interpol performed fan favorites such as “C’mere” and “Rest my Chemistry” the crowd pushed forward to the edge of the barricade, unable to peel their eyes off of the stage. By the time the 21 song setlist came to a close, the venue was absolutely packed. Reveling in the rush, fans lingered in the pit, chatting excitedly while sharing videos and treasured moments.

On Oct. 3, Brooklyn-based rock project sweet93, fronted by lead vocalist Chloe Kohanski, released their latest single, “what’s true?”
The titular question drives the melancholy track to a desolate dreamscape in three-quarter time. “what’s true?” represents a foray deep into Dream Pop. Drawing inspiration from notable groups such as Beach House, sweet93 moves away from the angst-ridden, rougher sound of previous singles (“Stars Above” and “Be My Best“) and continue down that path of introspection, getting tighter more straightforward in their songwriting.
The loss of hope conveyed so clearly in “what’s true?” is most recognizable in Kohanski’s 2023 OurVinyl Sessions Acoustic EP. However, sweet93’s newest effort delivers layers of ambient noise, reverberated into oblivion, creating a sound that holds up on all fronts. On the acoustic live EP, Kohanski’s vocals shine brilliantly, proving beyond any shadow of a doubt that she’s a talented singer. Yet, the professional-grade production on their newest song only adds to the list of factors that make sweet93 a standout listen.
The best thing about sweet93 is they’re a new act that’s still trying to find their sound. When every sound they try sounds great, you know you have a special group on your hands, especially when Kohanski’s vocals sound like a young, mellow Janis Joplin.
Since 2021, sweet93 has been apart of the NYC music scene collaborating with friends like Porches and playing shows with Ovlov and untitled (halo). sweet93 opened for Porches, at their most recent gig at Brooklyn Steel on Nov. 20, and contributed vocals to his latest album Shirt, on the song “Bread Believer.”
sweet93 informs us “There’s more music on the way, they’re constantly trying new things and experimenting in the studio.”
Psychedelic funk band Lettuce and legendary emcee GZA join forces for ‘The Get Up Tour’ in 2025. The tour sees 17 dates including one at Brooklyn Steel on February 7.
GRAMMY-nominated psychedelic funk band Lettuce kicks off 2025 with ‘The Get Up Tour,’ an expansive 17-date run at prominent venues throughout the U.S. Joining Lettuce on seven of those performances is legendary hip-hop artist GZA of Wu-Tang Clan. GZA presents his iconic 1995 album Liquid Swords in full with The Phunky Nomads Band. On those performances, GZA will play the first set of the evening followed by Lettuce marking a full night of music and inevitable collaboration.
The tour kicks off on the West Coast from Jan 22 – 24 in Del Mar, CA, followed by Los Angeles and Oakland. The tour comes to a close on March 2 in Denver, Colorado. New York City gets a taste of the tour on February 7 at Brooklyn Steel in Brooklyn.
GZA’s Liquid Swords was released in 1995 and has become a widely revered album celebrated for its sharp lyricism and vivid imagery. The record heavily samples dialogue from the 1980 cult martial arts classic Shogun Assassin and uses dark, atmospheric beats throughout.

Four years from the frays of the pandemic, Tiffany Majette, the New Jersey-born Orion Sun, is finally getting to live her dream out on the road. In the tender confessional on her Brooklyn Steel set on Thursday, November 7, the R&B songwriter reminisced on her first time in the Big Apple (the event marking the second occurrence), though, as she admits, what should’ve been a milestone performance felt like it didn’t really count.

“I was performing to an empty room, to a screen and there were clapping emojis at the end of every song,” she professed. “I remember being really scared that this was the new normal.”
Photos by Zachary Giller
Ever the optimist, Orion Sun didn’t let the stark anecdote’s sentimentality linger around long enough to sour, urging listeners to “don’t think about it too hard” into her lapse of vulnerability, choosing instead to let her music do all the heavy lifting.
Photos by Zachary Giller
Unbeknownst to her, despite all the worldly circumstances, 2020 proved to be a groundbreaking year. The singer-songwriter released two seminal albums, A Collection of Fleeting Moments and Daydreams and Hold Space For Me two months apart at the year’s emergence. And despite the catastrophic shutdowns that began mere days before the release of Hold Space For Me, Orion Sun forged ahead, gaining millions of eager fans with similar grievances and all the time in the world to slow down and listen.

On the stage set in East Williamsburg, a neighborhood teeming with hipsters and bearing a reputation as such, Orion alludes to a childhood of poverty and the embers of hope back when her days felt as dark as the obsidian-drenched room she currently occupied. With a timbre that oozes honey-like sincerity and eau de Jorja (Smith) tonality, she seduces with the throes “Space Jam – An Odyssey,” a track revealing dreams of a faraway home, as someone once intimately familiar with the rows of homelessness and housing insecurity:
“You wear Michael Jordans, I can’t afford them / I got dreams of Paris, I’d love to share them / I wanna go real far, like really, really far,” Orion croons, voice ringing with the disarming tenderness and lucidity of a teenager forced to grow up too quickly.

And travel Orion does, even within the confines of the 20,000-square-foot arena, never beholden to one place or once stagnating as she bounces lightly from left stage to right, surely making up for lost time, vocals even-kneeled and steady alongside improvised yet fluid choreography.

Her status as a former theater kid may serve as the resume for her captivating stage presence and even reserves Orion Sun the right to show off a little, with all the towel-flinging theatrics, a show-stopping megawatt smile, and endless gestures of gratitude in the form of generous leapfrogging daps and unadulterated quirks inundated with outbursts like “throat coat” and cheeky requests for a “No Judgement Zone.” As she leans into the opening acoustics of “These Days,” making promises that it’s really love that keeps us warm on days you’re “trying to keep your head above water,” you’re inclined to believe her, surrendering all lackluster cases against her indomitable thesis.

Fiddling with dials and clacks of a synthesizer, the self-made producer gave a glimpse at the honed skills that allowed her to retain all her masters as the sole writer and producer on her earlier works (“They want a ransom but if you make it yourself, the beat is free,” she sings cheekily in “Sailing”) and which attracted offers from big-time record labels. A twist here and a tap there, a dialed back reverb, and it’s a remix, on the fly: “This sounds better,” she joked, re-upping an intro with the click of a button.
Photos by Zachary Giller
Maybe predictably from someone who earlier in the night confessed to a craving of human interaction, Orion Sun proved to be a flight risk. Traipsing her way from left stage, confusion flooded the room from wall-to-wall as the top of Orion’s head disappeared — and re-emerged moments later in the crowd, weaving through shepherds of long-time fans and their equally enthralled compatriots, who parted for her like the Red Sea, granting her the hearty New York welcome she’d imagined many fortnights ago.

And to the dormant insurrected by her dare-to-dream purview, she leaves a ray of light as a parting gift. “For the creatives, do it for the archive first,” she urged, lessons she’s not only learned the hard way but intrinsically, forever embedded in her discography and way of life.

Wordlessly, London-based Nilüfer Yanya and her four-man band shuffle onto the Brooklyn Steel stage Tuesday night, launching right into the title single of her third album, MyMethodActor.
No second wasted, the indie-rock singer doesn’t come up for air until the end of the third song, “Chase Me,” acknowledging the audience for the first time with four words: “Wow, so many people,” she smiles.
Photos by Zachary Giller
The concession feels tongue-in-cheek, as Nilüfer picks up speed with “Like I Say (I runway)” and any sense there are witnesses present fades away. Though every inch of Brooklyn Steel is filled to capacity and the praise is thunderous, Nilüfer spends each verse singing nearly to herself, eyes lidded, looking but not really, it feels, registering anything or anyone in particular, as she gazes out into the crowd.

As she sings about running on borrowed time, you’re quick to understand that her sense of urgency is innate and learned. The settled mutual understanding permeates listeners, who are but happy to sway and hold any and all unadulterated applause for each track’s end.
Photos by Zachary Giller
It’s hard to say what she’s seeing, if not the hundreds of people in attendance, but you spend the hour-long set feeling as if you’re an intruder who stumbled across a girl singing alone in the woods, just happy to partake in the intimate scene. Make no mistake about the intended audience, however, as it becomes clear that each detail has been meticulously accounted for, including the aural tapestry of live sax for an upbeat jazz take.
Photos by Zachary Giller
At the show’s mid-way point, the momentum of Nilüfer’s well-orchestrated production swings in tandem with her solo acoustic rendition of “Heavyweight Champion of the Year,” the finale on her 2019 debut, “Miss Universe,” which earned the singer-songwriter Pitchfork’s Best New Music (a feat she’s achieved three times over). It’s an apt choice, with her angry staccato guitar strums only elevating her earnest frustrations, pained voice malleable and ever-flowing.
Photos by Zachary Giller
It’s also the show’s pinnacle, beholding entranced listeners to her writhing torments over the loss of self-jurisdiction and damning physical fatigue from “a lack of sleep” over nights spent tossing and turning. At no point is the plot lost as Nilüfer tears through “Binding,” feeling more resolute in her convictions, and the crowd is likewise, renewed with energy, as she croons: “I don’t want what’s left, got to give me something strong, got to make sure it’s your best.”
Photos by Zachary Giller
Waves of interludes weave the audience purposefully from one sequence to the next of Nilüfer’s purgatory tale. Even a rare cheer or whoop of appreciation feels out of place and almost sanctimonious, detracting from the world Nilüfer has built within and around herself. There’s just one brief moment where her absolute reign slips — a momentary technical difficulty that lasts but five seconds — and she chuckles, unsure. You’re instantly attuned that this is someone who regularly seizes utmost control of the moment.

Nilüfer’s pain quickly turns into exuberance — a pity party is still, after all, a party — and there’s a resounding resurgence in the final act as she launches into “the dealer” and ‘stabilise,” off the 2022 “PAINLESS.” There’s even a reclamation of narrative as she sheds her victimhood, in a rendition of PJ Harvey’s “Rid of Me.”
Photos by Zachary Giller
“I’ll tie your legs, keep you against my chest, oh, you’re not rid of me,” she sings in defiance against her former lovers and whoever else has wronged her, waking many in the pit from their deferential slumber. The Greek god of sleep, the gentle-dispositioned Hypnos, is said to own nearly half the lives of humans as he steers them through rest. As Nilüfer closes the show with the last exuberant dregs of “midnight sun,” it feels like she’s saying, to followers emerging from their trance, to look into the light of a new day, inherently triumphant in all its rich possibilities.
Lunar Vacation is the musical embodiment of a summer daydream. Hailing from Georgia, this indie rock quintet is made up of five lifelong friends. Their debut album, Inside Every Fig Is a Dead Wasp, was a gentle introduction to their hazy, feel-good vibe. But now, with their upcoming sophomore album Everything Matters, Everything’s Fire, they’re ready to turn up the volume and the feels.
The Show
When Lunar Vacation hit the stage at Brooklyn Steel on August 1, they weren’t just there to warm up the crowd—they were there to make sure everyone was floating on cloud nine before Vacations started their set. Starting with “Set the Stage,” they did just that. The track was like the musical equivalent of opening a window on a perfect summer day, inviting everyone to lean in and soak up the goodness.
As they transitioned into “Cutting Corners,” you could feel the energy in the room amp up. The sharp guitar riffs sliced through the Brooklyn air, locking the band into a groove that had the crowd swaying and grinning. “Unlucky” blended sadness and hope, captivating the audience with its lyrical contrast.
By the time they hit the final notes of “Tom,” the crowd was fully under their spell. The song ended the set with a burst of energy, leaving everyone feeling like they’d shared something truly special.
Lunar Vacation, with sunny tunes and deep lyrics, navigated the stage with confidence. And with Everything Matters, Everything’s Fire on the horizon, it’s clear this band is only just beginning to light up the indie music scene.
Setlist: Set the Stage, Cutting Corners, Unlucky, Monterey, Tom

Soul Coughing, one of the most unique and influential rock and roll bands of the last four decades, is returning to the stage fully formed for the first time in 25 years.
All four original members, Mike Doughty, Sebastian Steinberg, Mark degli Antoni and Yuval Gabay will be performing from coast to coast this September and October, capping the tour off with back-to-back nights in New York City.

Each exclusive performance will feature songs from their El Oso,Irresistible Bliss and their genre-defining debut album Ruby Vroom which celebrates its 30th anniversary this fall.
The four members of Soul Coughing have said it again and again to audiences, fans, and journalists: We will not reunite. Stop asking. Well, you might want to pose that question one more time, because the tune has changed. This fall, all four original members will take the stage once more, with 17 dates across the country—bringing their glorious, off-kilter magic to a whole new audience.
Mike Doughty (vocals/guitar), Mark degli Antoni (keyboards/sampler), Sebastian Steinberg (bass), and Yuval Gabay (drums) formed Soul Coughing in 1992 after meeting at New York’s Knitting Factory, where Doughty worked the door. A truly eclectic collection of musicians, the guys merged drum & bass, trance, rock & roll and hip-hop to create a totally unique strain of music. As Doughty says: “Our music didn’t fit into the landscape then and it doesn’t now. We were super incorrect. We were messy. We were all over the place. There were moments in our career where we tried to be less different, and we always failed.” And thank God for that.
Over their eight-year history, the guys collected a motley crew of fans who gravitated to the deeply weird—yet danceable—energy of their discography, starting off with their 1994 debut, Ruby Vroom. They broke up in 2000, but Soul Coughing has lived on in the minds and hearts of their most ardent fans—and a new crop of listeners who may have heard standouts like “Super Bon Bon” on a video game soundtrack or “Circles” on a favorite TV show.
And the guys themselves are no slouches. Doughty has been releasing solo records at a steady clip since the band broke up and has penned two memoirs. Meanwhile, degli Antoni has thrown himself into the soundtrack world, scoring films by the likes of Wernor Herzog. He also collabed with Steinberg, who has played with everyone from Iron & Wine to Fiona Apple—notably on her critically acclaimed 2020 record Fetch the Bolt Cutters. Steinberg also linked up with Gabay on a drum and bass project called UV Ray and select recordings for Suzanne Vega. Gabay then moved to the U.K. and recorded with DJ Krust, ADF, and Roni Size Reprazent.
When they hit the 30th anniversary of Ruby Vroom, though, Doughty started looking backward. After playing the whole record on tour solo, he reached out to the band with a radical idea: a reunion tour where they’d play a best-of collection of tracks from Vroom, 1996’s Irresistible Bliss, and 1998’s El Oso. “The end was acrimonious, but I just thought I’d give it a shot,” he says. “So I just wrote an email to all three guys. It took a little convincing for some of them, but I was really gratified that everyone wanted to take part in that again—to see if we can be a great band again.”
To say the guys were shocked might be a bit of an understatement. But it was also a kind of much-needed salvation. “When he first reached out it was such a relief,” says Steinberg. “We all have our part to play in any dysfunctional relationship. But it was an immediate relief. I could just say, ‘Hey, man, we did something wonderful. And I’m sorry, too. That was cool.’” Gabay had a similar reaction: “I respect the music. I love what I did there. I love what the guys are doing—we were a good band.”
As for the setlist, that’s still in flux. Doughty lives in Memphis, degli Antoni in New York, Steinberg in L.A., and Gabay in Jerusalem, so they have yet to get together for rehearsals. Still, they’re all practicing—and will rehearse for a solid week leading up to the show. Doughty is singing three hours per day, Steinberg is getting back into the very muscular swing of Soul Coughing, as is Gabay—and degli Antoni? He’s unearthing his old sampler—which he bought decades ago with his student loan money—and sorting through everything from snippets of ‘60s songs to seagull calls.
“We’re just trying to pick the songs that bring us joy,” Doughty says. “We’re really trying to kind of revel in each other as musicians and that’s what the setlist is going to be based on. One thing that’s always been true about this band is every song is somebody’s favorite song.”
“Really one of the best conversations I’ve had in this band ever was Mike and I sitting down by the L.A. river for almost two hours and just going through the songs,” Steinberg adds. “I think there’s nothing I wouldn’t try to tackle, because it’s all so insane.” As for the clubs, they went back to venues that supported them back in the day. “Our agents did some archaeological work, finding people in the music business that would really care about this—and really, really be excited about it,” Doughty says.
As they head toward making history, all Soul Coughing knows for sure is that the band was something special—something never replicated. And this time around, it’s all about unity. “Music is a place of escapism, for people to go to a magical world,” Gabay says. “That’s what interests me. I want to bring people together. How can you bring a variety of people to the gig? Music brings people together—both the band and the audience.”
And as for how they promised to never get back together? “We just decided to let bygones be bygones. You know, everybody had issues,” Doughty says. “Our fans are going to be shocked, man. I can’t even believe how much they’re going to be shocked.”

Shoegaze sensation Wisp played to a jam-packed room at Brooklyn Steel on May 3. Opening for British indie rock band Panchiko, the energy remained high throughout the Brooklyn venue on Friday night. This performance closed out a week of NYC headlining shows for Wisp, at Bowery Ballroom on April 29 and May 1, where Photographic Memory opened.
Currently based in Los Angeles, Wisp has quickly gained a large following, as the interest in shoegaze and the ethereal elements of the subgenre continue to rise. Wisp kicked off her US headlining tour in April 2024, with dates supporting Panchiko along the way. She had a busy April, with her debut EP Pandora also being released on April 5.
Throughout Wisp’s set, the room danced along with the strobe lights on stage. Her first single, “Your face,” was released last April. In a year’s time, she has gained a large fan base, and the crowd on Friday was evidence as that. With each song’s intro, the room erupted into screams of excitement and recognition.
The crowd remained captivated by the mixture of Wisp’s whispery voice and guitar riffs blended with the band’s heavy bass lines and drumbeats through the set. Wisp will be playing her next show on May 07 at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville supporting Panchiko. She will also be making more headlining tour stopsthrough the end of May.
On Thursday, January 19, Umphrey’s McGee made a triumphant return to New York with the kickoff of a two-night run at Brooklyn Steel. As part of their 2024 tour, the versatile band took the stage amidst a buzzing crowd eager for a musical journey.
Originating from South Bend, Indiana, Umphrey’s Mcgee has built a devoted fanbase in New York. They make frequent stops all over New York State – nearly every year in January, plus festival appearances – and it’s easy to see why. Early in the set, they dedicated a song to a friend in attendance celebrating their impressive 515th show.
The audience, unassuming yet in sync with the band’s vibe, engaged with each other while maintaining palpable excitement, with all eyes fixed on the stage. Opening with the crowd pleaser, “There’s No Crying In Mexico,” the night unfolded with a diverse array of songs and sounds, showcasing Umphrey’s Mcgee’s unique interpretation of the “jam band” concept. From psychedelic to progressive to punk, they seamlessly navigate various musical styles, demonstrating an undeniable chemistry among the bandmates.
The second set started with an electrifying cover of LCD Soundsystem’s “Tribulations” and concluded with a playful nod to Tenacious D’s “Kielbasa.” After leaving the stage, the band returned for an encore, bidding the audience farewell until the following night at Brooklyn Steel, followed by another one at Brooklyn Bowl. Their journey continues nationwide until the end of April, promising more musical adventures to fans across the country.
