LCD SOUNDSYSTEM IN CONCERT:
Back in the early '00s fans fell hard and fast for the funky electronica and rebellious rock and roll spirit LCD Soundsystem brought to their superb albums and killer live shows. The fun ended in 2011 when the band hung up their guitars and unplugged their drum machines, but not all was lost—legendary frontman James Murphy announced a reunion in 2015, and fans can't wait for LCD to blast some seriously funky stuff when they return to the stage. With headlining sets at several world-class festivals slated for 2016, the band has fans chomping at the bit to dance the night away to favorites like “Losing My Edge”, “Daft Punk Is Playing at My House”, and “North American Scum”. LCD Soundsystem is sure to deliver the party-worthy passion that ticket buyers love to feel on the dance floor, and fans can't wait for their epic comeback party.
BACKFROUND SNAPSHOT:
James Murphy bounced around the NYC music scene for more than a decade before gaining traction with the DJ project Death from Above, which saw him spinning everything from Daft Punk to Can. After seeing a younger DJ aping his unique mixes, he was inspired to write the snarky, humorous “Losing My Edge” in 2002 and LCD Soundsystem was born. He continued to cut successful singles and assembled a group of musicians to recreate his songs in a live setting, a move that thrilling both indie rockers and underground dance fans. Murphy's underground fame soon gave way to crossover success—the band's 2005 self-titled debut and 2007 album Sound of Silver both received Grammy nominations for Best Electronica/Dance Album. After the release of their 2010 album This Is Happening, Murphy decided to step out of the limelight and announced the group’s final show the following year. The hiatus only lasted four years, as the songwriter posted a heartfelt letter to his fans in 2015 telling them he had come up with a wealth of new material and decided that his former band would be the best outlet for it. With LCD Soundsystem headlining major festivals like Coachella in 2016, fans can’t wait to pick up where this dance party left off.
Nice show, nice pre NYE eve energy -- the opener was a little silly, though. Bring earplugs :)
LCD Soundsystem absolutely killed it. Overwhelmingly fantastic live. The title says it all really.
LCD is one of my favorites to see live. Definitely highly recommended to see them. They put on an awesome show. High energy, dancible and wish the show lasted another 2 hours. It was a great event filled with happy people with no issues, which is awesome for a NYE show, my first time foraying into the public on amatuer night in almost a decade. Do it again in a heartbeat, gladly. But the venue can be acoustically muddled. It did not take away from the enjoyment being a NYE show, but the sound at the show 6 months ago at the Frost Ampitheater, Stanford was superior.
What a fantastic way to bring in the New Year this was. Really great venue, and the acts were all superb.
great performance, acoustics, sound system, decor - cohesive, clean/tight, fun
LCD Soundsystem on NYE was the ultimate. Over 7,000 people singing and dancing along together. The band were tight and sounded so good. James Murphys voice excelled. What a way to start the year. Insane.
LCD Soundsystem played an amazing show. From their performance to the lighting and sound, everything was first rate. These are real professionals. I had an absolute blast.
The show was great. I’ve seen these guys many times and it was one of the best sets I’ve seen from them. Also, as a middle aged man, any venue with seats has my approval.
There is a good way to end the year and start the new one... and then there is doing it with LCDSS!! One hell of a night!! Best new year celebration ever!!
Last-minute plans made for an unforgettable New Year's Eve!
