The Holdup has built a loyal West Coast following on laid-back, melodic songs that sit between reggae, R&B and hip-hop, the soundtrack of beach bonfires and road trips. Seeing that vibe in a tiny Manhattan club makes for a warm, dancey late show. If you like California reggae-pop, this is your night.
What to expect
A small back-room club with a low stage and a crowd swaying close to the band. Cydeways and Dylan Reese warm up the room before The Holdup's set.
Good to know
- Take the F train to 2 Av; the club is on East Houston Street.
- It's standing room in a small space, so arrive early for a good spot.
- Bring ID for the bar.
- Two support acts play before the headliner.
