Loathe are the Liverpool band that made Deftones-scale heaviness sit comfortably inside shoegaze haze, and A Stranger To You is the record where that balance finally sounds deliberate rather than lucky. This is their only New York stop on a nineteen-city run, in a restored theater whose low end genuinely suits them. Fleshwater and Prostitute open, so the whole bill rewards arriving early.
What to expect
A loud, heavily textured set drawn mostly from the new album, with ambient interludes breaking up the riffs and a light show built around them. Brooklyn Paramount's floor is standing general admission with a balcony above it. Two full support bands play first, so the night runs long and the headline set lands late.
Good to know
- Fleshwater and Prostitute both play full sets first, so plan on a long night of music.
- Tickets use Ticketmaster's Face Value Exchange, meaning they are non-transferable and can only be resold at face value.
- The show is listed as all ages, and the main floor is standing general admission.
- Brooklyn Paramount is the restored theater on the Long Island University campus, steps from the Atlantic Terminal and DeKalb Avenue subway hubs.
- Ear protection is worth bringing; the room is loud and the set leans heavy.

Fleshwater, the shoegaze-leaning project featuring members of Vein.fm, and Prostitute. Both play every date of the tour.
What does the band actually sound like?
