LCD Soundsystem | Kinda Tour 2024

When LCD Soundsystem debuted in 2002 with the hilarious, hipster-spoofing single “Losing My Edge,” it set up the band and their label DFA, as the coolest things around. Driven by the vision of James Murphy, the band built on the disco-fied dance floor impact of the song, releasing timeless singles like “Daft Punk is Playing at My House” and “Drunk Girls,” as well as albums like 2007’s “Sound of Silver” that put the band firmly at the head of the neo-disco class. Along the way, Murphy showed a surprisingly poignant side on songs like “New York I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down” which stuck a deeper emotional chord than their more up-tempo songs. The band also became a huge live draw, eventually selling out a farewell show at Madison Square Garden in 2011.

The band went on hiatus until 2017 when a re-formed Soundsystem released the vintage-sounding “American Dream”. They soon decided to play a residency in late 2021 at Brooklyn Steel. They also put together a sitcom/live performance/art piece with the help of Eric Wareheim that aired on Amazon, then the group appeared on Saturday Night Live in early 2022. All this activity spurred them to make plans for another series of live shows consisting of multi-night residencies across North America and England. They continue to fill clubs and in 2022 cranked out “New Body Rhumba,” a dancefloor-filling single that had the same sharp edge as ever. LCD Soundsystem officially kicks off the 2024 Les Schwab Tires Concert Series at Hayden Homes Amphitheater in May!
