About

PARQUET COURTS IN CONCERT:

Brooklyn-based garage punk trio Parquet Courts continue to burn brighter and hotter than just about every other band out there, releasing their third album Sunbathing Animal in 2014 to another round of universal acclaim. The band blends the pointed vocals of post-punk with the shambling playing style of slacker rock, making for a unique sound that's even more compelling at their rip-roaring live shows. With songs like "Donuts Only" and "Disney P.T." clocking in at just over the minute mark, Parquet Courts deliver their message in short but satisfying bursts that stir up serious energy on their high-octane tours.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Parquet Courts was formed in 2011 by a group ofTexans living in Brooklyn. Their jagged yet approachable sound made them a popular live act early on, leading to extensive gigging around the New York Area  and a cassette-only 2011 debut album American Specialties. They found a wider audience with 2012 sophomore album Light Up Gold, a blistering slice of post-punk oblivion that landed on numerous year-end lists and merited a re-release in 2013 by indie label What's Your Rupture? On their 2014 release Sunbathing Animals the band unveiled their most ambitious material yet, living up to the heaps of buzz they've generated with a string of rollicking live shows in support of the release.

    REFRESHING

    by DJ DOGGY STYLE on 3/8/22The Pageant - St Louis

    Thank you, Parquet Courts, for a fun & refreshing show! You guys were having a ball on stage and it showed. The crowd felt your crazy fun vibe & went wild. Too bad The Pageant is to the point where they have way too many rules... but that didn't kill the good time..... close.... but not a complete buzz kill. Note to self..... see Parquet Courts again and again but not in a hurry to return to The Pageant. Hopefully the next venue doesn't require me to check my bar bar because it is 1/2 inch too wide..... come on, man.

    by Mike on 11/9/21The Stone Pony - Asbury Park

    Parquet Courts are one of the greatest bands to come out in recent years. Tons of fun energy and they hit you right in the feels with their poetic and introspective lyrics. DO NOT MISS THEM WHEN THEY COME TO YOUR TOWN!!!

    Great show in Portland Maine

    by Nick on 11/7/21State Theatre - Portland

    First time seeing the band and they were great. They played a nice mix of newer and older songs. Great jam on Almost Had to Start a Fight/In and Out of Patience and was glad they played Freebird II and Stoned and Starving. Plant Life and Walking At A Downtown Pace were highlights too. Will likely travel to Boston to see them at the Royale in '22.

    Love them but underwhelming

    by Mazie on 11/7/21State Theatre - Portland

    The band sounded amazing but the set list left a lot to be desired; they only played for an hour fifteen minutes and no encore! We drove several hours for this show and left feeling underwhelmed.

    Great time!

    by Keaton on 11/3/21Tellus 360 - Lancaster

    Parquet Courts put on a great set. They always have great banter, and the fact that it was Halloween made the event more enjoyable.

    Great Venue

    by P. M. on 9/21/21The St. Augustine Amphitheatre - St Augustine

    The amphitheater is an absolutely wonderful place to see events. We felt safe and cool on a hot summer night and parking was a breeze. Flipturn was young and enthusiastic, DEHD turned up the power and angst and Parquet Courts was the cherry on top with their skill and intelligently crafted songs. Worth the trip from Winter Park! Saint Augustine did it right!

    perfect moment to capture an awesome band

    by pierfuccio on 10/13/13Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn

    I was in NYC with my girlfriend last week which, among the rest, gave us the chance to see Parquet Courts on their own ground, in Williamsburg at the Music Hall. it was my first seeing them live but a few people who saw them before told me they have grown exponentially. indeed it was a fantastic concert. I had PC already as one of the few contemporary acts worth attention, but capturing them live was an even stronger experience than I was anticipating. we did appreciate support from The Beets as well, am curious to hear more about this act.

    Parquet Courts delivers

    by RochesterDorsey on 6/28/13Tralf - Buffalo

    One of the best concerts I've attended in years. Short but powerful. The Tralf is excellent, fairly small, and designed for the best acoustics. Get Parquet Courts back, the sooner the better.
