Grizzly Bear will headline Brooklyn Steel for three shows in November, but back on August 23 they played a very intimate show at new venue Public Arts to celebrate the release of new album Painted Ruins via RCA Records.
This was my first time seeing Grizzly Bear since their set at Governors Ball in 2013, making it a much more intimate experience. It was my first time at the venue, which felt like a Mercury Lounge sized room with the aesthetic of Terminal 5. A bit of an odd place for Grizzly Bear but when you get to see them in a tiny room like this, who am I to complain?
The setlist featured many new cuts from Painted Ruins, but also a selection of newer favorites like “Two Weeks,” “While You Wait For The Others,” and “Sleeping Ute,” as well as old school cuts like “Shift.” There was surprisingly nothing from Yellow House, giving us even more reason to return for more at Brooklyn Steel.
Even so, the band was in great spirits and just happy to be sharing these songs with a live audience back in New York, where they felt right at home.
