Brother-sister indie-pop duo Broods will be headlining Mercury East’s Irving Plaza on Thursday, April 18. This all-ages show will be supported by fellow sibling pair Bad Sounds, with doors opening at 7:00pm for an 8:00pm start. General Admission tickets currently cost $25, with GA Platnium tickets selling for $98 (not including fees).
Broods got their start in the states back in 2014 with their first single “Bridges” off of their debut release Evergreen. Since then, they have played as a supporting act for some of the biggest names in pop to date, including Sam Smith and Taylor Swift – and have also taken the stage at festivals such as Coachella and Lollapalooza. They’re now a supporting act no more, embarking on their very own headlining tour through North America to promote their latest record, titled Don’t Feed the Pop Monster. This show will offer an exceptional opportunity for the duo to showcase the evolution of their powerful synth-heavy pop sound throughout the past five years. Since Evergreen, Broods’ music has only become more polished and nuanced, adjusting in a way that emphasizes their exceptional musicianship without losing the aspects of their sound fans know and love.
Support will be provided by none other than Bad Sounds, another sibling pair guaranteed to get you moving. If alt-funk or indie-funk has yet to become a thing, allow Bad Sounds to pave the way forward – this crew takes the ‘traditional’ indie sound and gives it some thick roots in ’70s and ’80s funk along with inklings of early ’90s hip-hop. If you don’t think that style works, trust me – it does. Really well. As far as opening acts go, this is some of the best you can get.
