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.

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 .
After waiting nearly three years for Warpaint to return to NYC I finally got to see them for the first time. The entire night was magical. The band and the set was impeccable. The whole band was a dream. They are incredible live, a must see!
these girls are hot and super talented. put on a great and memorable show. everyone in the room was highly in tune with this.
Ladies who shred. Truly a great band with a flawless album and ep. Played all the vital songs, but mostly newer ones. Definitely catching them next time they come around
I've seen warpaint before. But they were 100% on top of their game. The venue was perfect, sound was rich, but not overpowering .... And the band was entrancing. Not a lot of shows compare to warpaint at the Williamsburg hall of music.
Just as good live, if not better! Great venue to see shows. People standing in the back just need to learn to shut up!
Warpaint is the best chick band I've seen live. They are seriously talented and the vocals game me chills. Loved it and love them!
Totally awesome show. Great opening bands, amazing headliner. Really good sound.
WOW!! MIND BLOWING!! One of the best live shows ive ever seen. These girls are incredibly talented!!! The venue was ok but the amazing performance more than made up for anything that was lacking. I would see Warpaint again anytime!!
Family band opened up for Warpaint and I thought they were really great. I am glad that I have been introduced to a new band. Rewards was good as well mixing their more dance rhythms with more earthy sounds. Finally, warpaint came on and their sound of sexy bass and melodic words filled the room. The new album is wonderful and I highly recommend giving them a listen if you have not done so yet.
The venue is lets say Hipster area but never be hard to judge any group of people because youll always be surprised! Although the show started a little late, it was worth the wait as The Family band came on playing slow mellow rock but with an extra ingrediant: metal. It was an interesting combination. I was right there in front of the stage about 2 feet away from the singer and wow is the sound quality magic!!! Later came out the rewards which played dicso rock and engaged the crowd with humrous remarks. Yet what everyone wanted was Warpaint and when Stella came out the crowd roared. Soon came out Theresa, Jenny and Emily and it was on!!!!!! 1234 yelled Stella and they broke into "Bees". Did I mention these girls are gorgeous. They ended the original set with Elephants which is always amazing!!! Yet the crowd roared and Warpaint came back for an encore!!!!! They played 2 more songs!!!! What an amazing band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Warpaint was great but the first band was so bad and all of their songs were in the same key. Painful.
