WARPAINT IN CONCERT:
All-girl psych-rockers Warpaint first entranced fans with their arty, eclectic brand of indie in 2004, and they've kept things fresh by adding new flourishes to their sound each step of the way. The group takes listeners on a journey in concert with their broad sonic palette, mixing it up with the searing dance floor groove of "Disco//Very," the hypnotic guitar arpeggios of "Keep It Healthy," and the psychedelic pop of "New Song." Their beautifully layered sound is thick with spacey echoes and swirling textures, and they cut through the mix with gang-sung melodies and irresistible rallying cries that match the propulsive beats. Warpaint deliver the perfect blend of genre-straddling experimentation and endearing stage presence, and ticket buyers can't help but get swept up in the group's immersive sets.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Many were celebrating romance on Valentine's Day in 2004, but the four founding members of Warpaint spent the day jamming instead. After years of gigging in LA, they released their 2008 debut EP Exquisite Corpse, which was mixed and mastered with help from Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante. Original drummer Shannyn Sossamon left shortly thereafter to focus on her acting career, which had already netted her roles in the films A Knight's Tale and 40 Days and 40 Nights, and former Swahili Blonde drummer Stella Wozgawa slid behind the kit just in time for the band's 2009 tour with The xx. Warpaint released their full-length debut The Fool in late 2010 and continued to grow their fanbase the following year with well-received sets at Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Glastonbury. The solidified lineup spent the next few years composing new material, and in 2014 they returned with a self-titled album that exhibited a new minimalist approach highlighted by keyboards and drum machines. After some time spent focusing on side projects, the group thrilled fans in 2016 with the announcement of their third album Heads Up, which they supported with the bubbly advance single "New Song." With critics and fans eager for more genre-bending music from the quartet, Warpaint continue to floor indie rockers with their energetic and unforgettable concerts.
The show was amazing starting with great parking, cute venue with a convenient layout, and a great opener. Warpaint sounded just like the studio versions if not better! It was so cool to see their chemistry on stage, a very special night!
I've wanted to see these wonderfully talented ladies for 15 years, when I discovered them...their music is so wide ranging, but they truly solidify my love and enjoyment for them. So, at 58, with lousy back issues, I enjoyed the Warpaint music concert so much! 10 STARS!!!❤
This one was a little different as they are on a large tour with DM and this was their "night off". They did a quieter, stripped down set which was a cool way to hear the songs. They always put on a great show and this one was no different.
First off it wasn't a show, it was a concert. Warpaint is always amazing!
Love warpaint they kill it every time. Saw them in Prov. a few months back and somehow they were even better here.
Was expecting a longer concert. Disappointed on the length of the event. No encore!
I love the music, but the constant stopping between every few songs and talking took me out of the mood
Absolutely amazing show. These girls always bring their best to their live shows. They played a variety of tracks old and new and most of the expected favorites. Highly recommended.
Amazing. Most chill concert I've ever been to. Think they played a fairly long set but it seemed short because it was that good. Was mesmerized by Jenny Lee's dance moves while she played guitar.
Great concert! Never seen them live but they were magnificent. Staff was courteous and professional at the venue.
I must admit that although I had heard Warpaint's work, I hadn't really known what to expect when I went to check them out live at Variety Playhouse on a mellow Sunday night. I got into the upper section to get a good listen and good view, and wasn't disappointed. The opening band was very good, and then Warpaint went on and holy cow, I was gobsmacked they were so damn good! This four-piece is totally solid and all four of the members play so well together, and each has an amazing voice. Their encores blew me away completely. They are truly something to see...if you get the chance to actually catch them on tour (they do not tour much here in the states) then by all means go and check them out!
Super show! Showed up about 2 hours early and was able to get front row. The opening act, Liam Finn was super cool. Very high energy and really rocked. Warpaint needless to say, totally rocked the house. The Crowd was into the show, and you could tell the band sensed the energy.
So awesome! If you like kick-ass girl bands Warpaint is for you!
The show was everything I expected it to be and more. These four ladies sure know how to bring it with a wide setlist from their first 3 albums plus a few jam improv's/ new songs. They are so sweet and were constantly smiling and joking with fans. I highly recommend going and seeing them and will definitely see them next time they are in the area.
Warpaint was great, they played almost two hours with a long 15-20 minute jam at the end of their 3 song encore. Played maybe half the set from their new album and were pretty enthusiastic and weren't aloof with the crowd. They seemed like a pretty down to earth group of people who just happened to be in a successful band. Everyone seemed to have good chemistry at the show and everyone had fun .A little surprised how many guys were at the show considering the all girl band thing. kind of refreshing to see
The 90+ minute set never feels like enough. I could watch this band for hours. They are an amazing live band!
They improvised A LOT, nothing wrong with that in principle, but on that night it meant that the songs got frayed out. Luckily, there was the rhythm section... Despite the great venue and a keen audience, this gig left me disappointed.
They were just so amazing and lovely I can't get enough of this band. I saw them at the music hall of williamsburg last october and they played all their great songs from the previous two releases they had, but this time it wasn't enough!! i wish i could've heard them play more songs, or at least play a longer encore but either way i had an incredible time and i was getting great vibes from the band. you could tell they were having a really great time and having so much fun together and that can make or break a show a lot of the time, but for warpaint it only made it a million times better!!!! i love these girls and i hope they come back very soon :)
There were some technical difficulties at the beginning of the show but aside from that, Warpaint was amazing. This was my second time watching them and they're just great every. single. time!
Great show! Would recommend to anyone interested .
