Brooklyn's own synth-pop standard-bearers headline the Paramount in the kind of hometown show their OMD-meets-New-Order anthems were built for. The undercard is a gift: indie-pop cult heroes The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and hypnotic Anika open the night. If you only see one rock show this weekend, the homecoming with two openers this good is the one.
What to expect
A full-scale headline set of driving, danceable synth-pop in the restored 1928 movie palace, preceded by two substantial opening sets. Doors are listed at 8:00 PM; expect the headliner later in the evening. The room mixes an open floor with theater seating.
