Nation of Language grew out of Brooklyn's DIY circuit into one of indie synth-pop's most beloved live bands, and this bill brings them home to the restored 1928 Brooklyn Paramount. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, another New York indie-pop favorite, and Berlin-based Anika round out a stacked undercard. If you love chiming synths and a room that sings along, this is the local show of the weekend.
What to expect
Expect a general admission floor under the Paramount's ornate ceiling, three sets that move from moody post-punk to jangly indie pop, and a hometown crowd that knows the words. The balcony offers a seated view of the room. All three acts are well known to New York indie crowds.

- The restored interior is worth arriving early to look around.
- Floor is standing room; the balcony has seats.
