“This place is fucking gigantic,” Geese frontman Cameron Winter told the crowd at Brooklyn Paramount on Friday night (11/21) before launching into “Cowboy Nudes.” “Look at the ceiling, for god’s sake look at the ceiling.”
The 2700-capacity venue is indeed bigger than the NYC spaces Geese have played previously — if you don’t count their last minute, packed Banker’s Anchor release show in September — but it also seems likely to be the smallest place they’ll play for a while going forward. Geese are having a genuine moment, fresh off the release of their fantastic new album Getting Killed, and the hype has gotten louder than ever more recently as they covered New Radicals’ “You Get What You Give,” released a From the Basement session, and got showered in praise by the likes of Nick Cave and Patti Smith. And after seeing them close out their tour on Friday night (minus the last minute addition of a Camp Flog Gnaw set on Saturday), I’m happy to say the live show is as exhilarating as I’d hoped.
I was most excited to hear the Getting Killed material, which made up most of the set, closing with a kinetic freakout on “Trinidad” that had the whole floor moving. During the middle, they did a few older songs, including 4D Country‘s “Killing My Borrowed Time,” which got its tour debut, and 3D Country‘s “2122.” They’ve been covering snippets of other songs in the middle of the latter with members of one of the openers, Racing Mount Pleasant, joining them on horns, and while Friday night got part of the Stooges’ “Fun House,” on Thursday they paid tribute to late Stone Roses and Primal Scream bassist Gary “Mani” Mounfield with part of Stone Roses’ “Shoot You Down.”
Racing Mount Pleasant opened the night with a set of beautiful, impassioned chamber pop, followed by Irish artist Dove Ellis, whose soaring vocals had the room mesmerized. See pictures from Friday by Amanda M Hatfield below, along with the setlist and videos from both NYC shows.
