Parquet Courts

In December 2014, when Parquet Courts played at Webster Hall, they were riding high on the buzz generated by their album 'Sunbathing Animal,' which came out earlier that year. This album showcased their eclectic style and marked a notable evolution in their sound, blending elements of punk, art rock, and even a dash of funk. The live performance of 'What Color is Blood' captures their raw energy and the tight-knit chemistry that the band is known for. An interesting tidbit? The group often layers their songs with socially-conscious lyrics, reflecting their roots in New York City’s vibrant cultural scene. This setup allowed them to connect deeply with the audience, breathing life into their studio work while adding the electric thrill of a live gig. It's clear that at this point in their career, Parquet Courts were not just surviving—they were thriving, paving their way as vital players in the indie rock landscape.
