SUMMARY:Black Country\, New Road / Horsegirl / Sharp Pins / DJ Mona Dehghan
DESCRIPTION:Want to see the show from the best seats in the house? Try becoming a SummerStage Member for a Day! Enjoy skip-the-line\, complimentary beverages\, air-conditioned restrooms\, and more.  \nBlack Country\, New Road is a sextet of classically trained musicians from Cambridge\, England\, who’ve created a unique blend of jazz\, math rock\, and klezmer that turned the Brixton post-rock scene on its head even as live music took an extended pause during the pandemic. After scoring a nomination for the 2021 Mercury Prize with their debut LP For the First Time\, the band went through a lineup shakeup just days before the release of their second album Ants From Up There. The band retired the songs from their first two LPs and took brand new music out on tour\, with vocal duties inherited by the remaining band members\, resulting in the whimsical concert film and album Live at Bush Hall.  Their latest release\, Forever Howlong\, was released in 2025 to critical acclaim. They’re joined by SummerStage alums Horsegirl\, a New York-via-Chicago trio that takes musical cues from ’90s alt rockers; their latest LP Phonetics On and On was produced by the ​​eccentric Welsh artist Cate Le Bon. Rounding out the bill is Sharp Pins\, the lo-fi power pop solo project from Kai Slater of the post-punk group Lifeguard\, who hail from the same youthful Chicago rock scene that produced Horsegirl\, formed while they were still in high school. DJ Mona Dehghan will be spinning before the show. \n\n  \nPRE-SHOW PANEL: WHAT DOES “INDIE” MEAN TODAY? A PANEL DISCUSSION\n4PM / The Pergola at Rumsey Playfield\n  \nOn the occasion of Ronen Givony’s new book\, Us v. Them: The Age of Indie Music and a Decade in New York (2004-2014)\, this panel will discuss the present and future of “indie” music and DIY culture in New York. Bringing together musicians\, writers\, and industry professionals\, it will examine recent trends in music consumption\, journalism\, and marketing\, and ask: what does artistic “independence” look like today?\n\n  \n\n\nTaja Cheek is a Brooklyn-born musician and curator. A multi-instrumentalist and songwriter\, Cheek frequently records and performs under the name L’Rain. Her latest album\, “I Killed Your Dog\,” is a kaleidoscopic exploration of heartbreak\, released to critical acclaim across the globe.

SUMMARY:Laurie Anderson: Republic of Love with Sexmob / amita
DESCRIPTION:Want to see the show from the best seats in the house? Try becoming a SummerStage Member for a Day! Enjoy skip-the-line\, complimentary beverages\, air-conditioned restrooms\, and more.  \nLaurie Anderson is best known as an early pioneer of electronic music\, but her wildly diverse catalog of ambitious multimedia projects encompasses not only music but film\, visual projections\, dance\, and spoken and written word. Her early experimentations in composition and performance led to an accidental mainstream moment with her 1982 album Big Science and the hit single “O Superman\,” which she followed up with continual exploration and thoughtful provocations. She holds a number of honorary doctorates\, and in 2002\, was appointed the first artist-in-residence of NASA. Her latest album Amelia\, released in 2024\, comprises twenty-two tracks about the aviator Amelia Earhart’s tragic last flight. “Republic of Love” was first conceived after an invitation to do a two hour talk on the relationship of government and love from a festival in Vienna. It’s a collection of songs and stories about the current state of America\, with some history thrown in\, reexamining works such as “Big Science” and “Language Is a Virus.” Backed by Sexmob\, an instrumental jazz quartet that emerged from the Knitting Factory scene in the mid-’90s and known for raw improvisation and inventive arrangements\, Anderson’s performance also features the words and thoughts of many Americans such as Bob Dylan\, Lou Reed\, John Cage\, Gertrude Stein\, William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg. Anderson herself calls the work “a celebration of freedom.” A DJ set from amita will kick off the evening.
