Time To Get Away: LCD Soundsystem Bid Farewell Tonight

After a decade of Daft Punk references, white suits and Muppet videos, James Murphy announced the dissolution of LCD Soundsystem a little over a month ago.

LCD Soundsystem: "F--- The Scalpers," More Shows Added!

LCD Soundsystem: "F--- The Scalpers," More Shows Added!

Last weekend, LCD Soundsystem announced that their final show as a band would take place at MSG in April, and yesterday, the internet went bonkers when scalpers swooped in and collected an insane number of the tickets to the show.

Gothamist's Week in Rock, Volume 18

Gothamist's Week in Rock, Volume 18

We've never handed our tickets to the door guy at a show before and been asked if we wanted to get a table and buy a bottle. But this, I suppose, is what you get when you go see a show on 16th street and 10th ave. Our experience at the new High Line Ballroom felt as if we were living the opening scene of a Law and Order episode, where at any second some over-tanned I-banker would come stumbling out of the bathroom covered in blood as everybody runs towards the exit. The thumping music, the blinding lights and this lingering sense of false superiority reeked of a disaster, but the ambiance aside, both Spankrock and Ghostface put on one hell of a show. Each act managed to cram as many people as possible on the stage, all rocking and flopping about to the music. Even fellow Wu-Tanger RZA came up briefly at the mic for a brief cameo. Live hip-hop shows are often a mixed bag for us, but while this one started out a bit sketch, it ended with a huge bang. (pic via Gaelenh's Flickr) more ›
