Whirr's records bury melodies under towering layers of fuzz, and the band has a devoted following among a younger wave of shoegaze fans. Hearing that volume bounce around the Paramount's ornate ceiling is a very different experience from a dive-bar show. If you like your Sunday nights loud and hazy, this is the show in Brooklyn to catch.
What to expect
A general-admission floor under the Paramount's restored plasterwork ceiling, with balcony space above for anyone who wants a seat. Expect a crowd of dedicated shoegaze fans, a wall of guitar volume from the first song, and a set that favors atmosphere and texture over banter between tracks.
