Webster Hall

After seeing them back home with both The Sisters of Mercy and Clan of Xymox in 2023, had to check them out with Chameleons while I was in NYC. Once again they did not disappoint. Where this Brooklyn duo break away from their darkwave contemporaries is with stellar songwriting, and being unafraid to venture into sonic landscapes that lay well outside the proverbial gothic box. Come back to LA! -Brie

Short answer: Excellent, go see her, 10/10 (The opener Squirrel Flower! omg i was mesmerized the whole time) Long Answer: I got my partner and I the VIP tickets and it was such an interesting and above all NEW experience for me to go hangout with a musician backstage like that (and if you have the opportunity you should absolutely do it.) I was having a panic attack (because the workers and “security” at Webster Hall were absolutely HORRIBLE) but the second Annie came around the corner greeted us and welcomed us into the space and backstage everything melted away. She is so full of love for her craft and the community shes built around her art. She is 100% worth supporting and seeing especially live.

This was not a typical Ebo Taylor concert…due to the reality that he’s 89 and now wheelchair bound. Hence, he was not able to play his amazing guitar licks or dance with us. That was done by his sons and other band mates. But we were all happy to be there for his “America’s Farewell Tour”…and the crowd expressed that with spontaneous applauses. I think most of us were determined to see him and show our appreciation…perhaps for the last time.

as expected, Paris gave a stunning performance. the small changes to songs live made for a very special and unforgettable concert! not to mention that the community she's curated is so sweet and trade trinkets and cards to anyone that wants them :) had so much fun even just waiting in line for a few hours! the library book trade is also very cute and a very special idea for a concert <3

I miss my fantasy husband already Thank you for the night it was cold 🥶 but fans banded together from everything from bathroom access to food delivery and I helped wrap scarfs to keep others warm and keep phones charged with my extra phone charger. I'm glad I gave him my questions with my info due to I was so cold I couldn't think straight. Other than the elements of Earth Ben is an amazing person! I'm glad he's my favorite actor he's not shallow or too busy to come back to you or make you feel nervous about meeting him. My first Meet and Greet I will never forget! Thank you!

I was at GAVIN DEGRAW album release q&a,( not with audience, I got the SEATED alert Julien was in town so I decided 29 min walk,took a picture of the Sold Out 3 day sign, and I Hope Maggie Rogers if she s still in NY stopped by Oct 8 Brooklyn Steel gig!! the openers for Oct 7 were Katie Malco and Laura Stevenson,I ACTUALLY commented to add to the staff saying:" you don't Know Who You'll see at this venue, famous ppl ,other musicians..." I added;"Laura Stevenson unless she s touring I can see being here"{ Laura was the second opener.and I got to have a conversation with Laura with her hairstyle Different every time I see her I ACTUALLY THOUGHT she was Julien the first time she passed me I belted out nervously:' How S Your Day!?'- BuddhistShawn

2023 Best band I’ve seen live this year! Electric energy, oozed cool, band mates were a tight unison like a rumbling motor firing on all cymbals! Can’t believe we caught them on their first US tour. After the show was over they came out and hung out at the merch table chatted with every single fan!! They were so kind and nice, the drummer Samuel is the F@cking best! I’d party with him any day! I’m excited to be able to see them again in 2024! U. S. A.

Used to think Baroness was "Mastodon Lite" but seeing them live last night spontaneous but completely in unison they revealed how they are truly one of a kind. One of those shows where you blink and its over because they're impossible to watch without being 100% invested in every second. Best show I've seen at Webster, in the last couple of years (even amongst Clutch and Sparta in Austin and Gaslight and Bouncing Souls) and in my top 10 of all time.

What an incredible showcase ! Baroness came through with some absolute heat, exceptional synchronicity, and a very memorable and fun show, overall. Imperial Triumphant as an opener was a mind-blowing death metal jazz experience, that instantly made me a fan, which set the night off perfectly, with bassist, Steve Blanco entering the crowd mid-performance, alongside lead guitarist/vocalist Zachary Ezrin with led lights to blast the entertainment to new heights, and later paced nicely with a cool down from Steel Mag and some vintage 80’s style rock tunes all there own. Baroness show gets a 10/10 from me, and will recommend in high regards. Woo !

A very lively show. Crowd was very engaged with lots of dancing , jumping and singing along. Never could understand how Kasabian did not become more popular in the States ! Their music resonates on so many levels and their setlist was a perfect fit ! If you were at this show and did not feel just a little bit better when you left, then I have no answers for you.

Excellent set. Not surprisingly, they pulled a lot from the most recent albums, but they really brought some great energy to those songs. Some of the "random noise" bits felt a bit performative, like they were just filling space before transitioning to the next portion of a song, but it was still a powerful sound. The band was definitely signaling the changes pretty obviously to each other, but it helped them all stay on the same page. And I give a lot of credit to the sound engineer for letting Jason's thin voice shine through above the din. Can't wait to see them again.

What can I say that hasn't already been said. Patrick Droney is a brilliant artist, songwriter, musician and story teller. What also draws you into his music and person is he is such a humble, smart, present man, who doesn't take his music or success for granted. Nor does he takes his supporters for granted. He has a really good memory and solid music support that spans across the US and he is making huge waves in Europe/UK. His music and his album is a journey and you go with him and he with you. His band is strong and make his show equally exhilarating. His foundation is his family. How wonderful it is to get to a point in your career that you can jam with your Dad on stage. Your mom in the balcony watching with pride and joy rocking your album shirt and your brother "the shot g*n rider" traveling the world with you, keeping you grounded and capturing memories for you in video and photos. Patrick works hard, gives his all and seeing him live is musical utopia. I encourage anyone to check out his music, take a night to see his show and if you get a chance to speak with him in person, you will be glad you did. His success is earned and deserved ! 👈 🎶🎸🎤🎶

10s across the board. paramore is a stand-up band. Their collective character and talent are so attractive!! I got my tickets 20 minutes into the show after being on an almost-failed mission to attend this sold out event. I missed 3 songs, but caught the last song + the whole interview and I still had an amazing time. I LOVE paramore and the people I’m surrounded by at their shows

As performers, Ocean Alley are masters of their craft. Stage presence, technical ability, everything was spot on and left the crowd wanting more. The sound guy, Callum Howell, did a phenomenal job with the mix and vocal effects usage. Whomever was working lighting was doing an exceptional job. The merch guy, Jimmy Snyder, was also extremely friendly and easy to get along with. This experience convinced me to attend their next show in LA on September 8th.

Mac DeMarco is gorgeous, talented, charismatic, funny and kind, and I especially enjoyed his playing the entire "Five Easy Hot Dogs" album as the melodies and chords are super interesting in that work, but after that first set this concert had too much material from his more recent unwieldy and unfocused album and those songs became tiring. I was surprised the concert was that low key and hoped for at least a bit more energy and diversity. If it weren't for his banter I'd have been bored, because there's a lot of his music I LOVE. Beyond the "Hot Dogs" songs, he seemed to overplay tunes that were filler and undeveloped; there's relatively very few of the 199 songs on the most recent album I find especially interesting, and he didn't play those. To each his own, though, and it was heartening to see thousands of 25-year-old males showing that much reverence to anything. Mac is so special; I guess if he's happy, I'm okay with it. I just hope in the future he picks more interesting and/or energetic material for a show. The sound at Webster Hall was GREAT.

These girls are so talented! I knew I’d be blown away. Their harmonies are so incredibly beautiful! I’m so happy to have experienced this first tour hearing them live. I love their EP, “The Lead” so much. Their album is going to be absolutely greatest. I love their song “change,” which is an unreleased song their performed from the upcoming album. I truly love these girls. Their the next it girls honestly.

INSANE! Claire puts on such a good show. Stage presence 10/10. Crowd interaction 10/10. She makes it fun for every single person even if you are all the way on the edge of the barricade. I had the pleasure of meeting her after the show; she is sweet, humble, and loves her fans so much! Plus, she took my Frankenstein glasses, but Claire should be on your bucket list of people to see!

I wish there was a smoother more organized transition between check in the sound check and pre show. I felt kind of lost and a lot of people just didn’t know what was going on. Next time I think they should just do two types of VIPS and to do the sound check not too early before the show. Other than that she was AMAZING so much fun I had a great time I would have gone again if I was able to!!

In Flames is my favorite band ever! Webster Hall sounds great for metal shows. It's also the perfect size to love your band and allow all your best friends are metalheads to be there too. The vantage point is always great too. I'd say the only bizarre thing is that the sound board is awkwardly in the middle of the floor?!? I feel like the back bar moved back against the wall and instead of just allowing the space to be someone thought it was a good idea to put the soundboard with some fences around it smack in the middle. In Flames We Trust \m/

Super high energy show! Great songs. Machine G*n Kelly came out and did a song with him. Watching the crowd from above on the balcony I could see the only negative thing about the show was apparently no one knows personal space and pushes against each other and people trying to push there way to the front. I watched a few people get pulled out of the crowd because they almost passed out. I've been to plenty of shows where you can stand next to a person and still enjoy the show without pushing or leaning into people, you could sing, dance, jump up and down and still have personal space where your not on top of each other. I think this fan base for the NYC show was just tweens and teens who haven't learned common courtesy yet. You can enjoy a show without trying to stomp on each other. Hopefully he gains more of an older fan base soon so you can go and enjoy the show. Aside from the crowd, it was a great show.
