Venue
Formed by Merrill Garbus in 2006, Tune-Yards has become a name synonymous with creativity and forward motion. Known for explosive performances, surprising song structures, and danceable rhythms, their music also highlights connections between song and social consciousness. The New York Times praised their debut album, BiRd-BrAiNs, as “a confident do-it-yourselfer’s opening salvo,” and relentless touring established Garbus as a commanding live performer.
Garbus stepped into the producer role with 2011’s w h o k i l l, a bold and sonically inventive album that earned critical acclaim, including the #1 spot on The Village Voice’s Pazz and Jop poll. By 2021’s sketchy., Garbus and bassist Nate Brenner had solidified their partnership, creating a fully collaborative work. The duo has announced their sixth studio record, Better Dreaming, to be released on May 16, 2025 on 4AD.
Tune-Yards also excels in scoring, contributing to Boots Riley’s Sorry to Bother You, I’m A Virgo, and the forthcoming I Love Boosters. Their artistry continues to expand across music, film, and television.
Tune-Yards’ latest show was beautifully paced, infectious, and characterized by the impeccable musicianship that never ceases to amaze. There was a well balanced mix of new material and old favorites, and the audience was deeply appreciative!
Saw them in St Louis at Delmar Hall and then a few days later at a Chicago Street Festival. They were great at both places.
Merrill's voice was super impressive in person! The show and energy were great and I enjoyed my first show in Delmar Hall.
Was very impressed at the mask compliance throughout the venue although I didn't know it was a masked event until I arrived. People gave each other plenty of space in certain sections of the theater if they wanted it. Grateful the concert still went on and appreciate the decision to make it a masked event.
Loved that the venue was so careful: proof of vaccination and masks for all. Everyone there seemed really happy and supportive of those rules, and the band called out their thanks and the need for us to all keep each other safe. Then Merryl led a really simple kind of grounding exercise for all of us to settle in with the solemn joy and nervousness of the audience being at our first show in about 18 months! And of COURSE, they rocked it. NGL, I had tears rolling down my cheeks while I was scream-singing along and dancing my fool head off! Thank you Neptune Theater, and THANK YOU TUNEYARDS!!!
