How the Death show came to be: A story from Mike V of The Everymen
…One of the best parts of working in live music is that every day you get to work with people who deeply care about what they’re doing. As obvious as it might sound, this is something pretty rare in the realm of adulthood and day jobs. Regardless of the preferred genre, we’re all obsessed with
Working at LPR – Jesse Beck, Bartender
One of my favorite shows was one that was hard to see. Rhye, a band that likes to keep itself in an opaque shroud of mystery, recently showed up to a sold-out crowd at LPR. In an effort to maintain a certain sense of mystique, the show was lit almost entirely by candlelight. With the…

Atoms for Peace playing “Amok” at LPR
Watching Thom Yorke and Nigel was a serious trip. Magical, even? They worked with each other, worked with the audience, yet were simultaneously all in their own world. I don’t know if I will ever experience something like that in such an intimate setting ever again.

The Heart Of (Le) Poisson Rouge – Andrea Grant, Bartender
“After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.”
- Aldous Huxley
With everything epic, there is an imminent collision of past and future embedded in the mythology. This is especially true in cities where layers of robust history rest at the foot of long-standing architectural structures, this juxtaposition itself creating a…
Deeply Gratifying Performances at LPR – Monica Dhar
3 years ago I started my journey in a little basement in the Greenwich Village called (le) poisson rouge. What I’ve gained from being involved in such interesting & eclectic programming is truly invaluable (this is an understatement).
The history of this space alone makes me feel humbled to step foot in the building…

Three Mind-Bendingly Incredible Shows at LPR – Forrest Wu
…I’ve been at LPR for a lot of pretty good shows in the last five years—and a few mind-bendingly incredible ones. Without consulting the metaverse to jog my memory, the following nights come to mind:
1. Todd Sickafoose’s Tiny Resistors and the Mary Halvorson Trio (May 18, 2011)
If I remember correctly, this

An LPR Memory: Fucked Up and Titus Andronicus – Michael Hanf, Box Office
The beautiful thing about seeing Damian Abraham run at you in all his sweaty, hairy, red-faced glory is that it doesn’t seem dangerous or scary at all. It’s life affirming and inspiring. It’s inclusive in a way that can’t be replicated in any other medium. In a way that makes you feel like seeing Fucked…

Top 10 LPR Shows – Jonathan Talley, LPR Production Manager/Director of Lighting
…It has been an amazing five-year journey up to this point! We are all so proud of what we have accomplished and the shows we have hosted. Top 10 shows is almost impossible and I know I am missing some great ones. Some of my personal favorites:
MONO with Wordless Orchestra/Arvo Part - It
Memorable Moments at LPR – Maria Narimanidze, Waitstaff
The past 4+ years I have spent working at LPR have been incredible. Challenging, astounding, bonding, and most of all, constantly changing.
The diversity of the musical line-ups, week to week, allowed me to explore things I would never discover on my own. Steve Reich’s haunting pieces, Doveman’s ethereal and intimate in-the-round shows, the…

I have worked at LPR for about a year and some change now. It’s my first home, away from home (being the Pacific NW). The music ranges from late night European house music to acoustic folk, with many great humanitarian benefits in between.

Fucked up at LPR – photo by Adam Siegel…
After working here for the better part of LPR’s 5 years, I’ve seen more shows than I could ever count. To be honest, many of them blur together, be that because of strong bartender pours, the shear quantity, or time passed. But for all shows
Our Favorite Fliers: Alarm Will Sound
