Bikini Kill's reunion shows have not softened the material: the songs that defined riot grrrl still land as confrontations, and Kathleen Hanna still runs the room. Pairing them with Lambrini Girls - who are doing the same job for a different decade, louder and funnier - makes the bill an argument rather than a nostalgia set. Brooklyn Steel's 1,800-capacity floor is about as close as this gets in New York now.

What to expect

A standing general-admission floor with a raised bar area, high volume, and a crowd that spans several generations of the same scene. Lambrini Girls open with a short, fast set. Brooklyn Steel is a converted warehouse in East Williamsburg with a long bar and good sightlines from the risers if you would rather not be in the pit.

Good to know

  • The band's official tour page lists this date as sold out, so verified resale is the remaining route.
  • Brooklyn Steel is general admission and standing - there is no assigned seating on the main floor.
  • The venue is on Frost Street, closest to the Graham Av (L) and Nassau Av (G) stations, roughly ten minutes on foot.
  • Lambrini Girls open, and their set is short enough that a late arrival will miss it entirely.
  • Expect an active pit near the front; the side risers are the calmer option.
