Last night, Brooklyn's own Geese delivered a spellbinding performance at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, showcasing their genre-defying sound and unmistakable stage energy. The five-piece band, formed during their high school days, has quickly gained acclaim for their raw talent and fearless experimentation. Geese effortlessly blend post-punk, art-rock, and indie influences, creating a sound that’s at once nostalgic and cutting-edge.
The Setlist and Performance Highlights
Opening with the brooding, atmospheric "Islands of Men," Geese set the tone for an evening of captivating contrasts. The band seamlessly transitioned into "Jesse," with its frenetic rhythms and intricate guitar work electrifying the crowd. Two new songs, "Cobra" and "Here My Angels Come," gave fans a glimpse into the band's evolving artistry, their fresh compositions marked by emotional depth and sonic complexity.
A standout moment came with "2122," which playfully teased Roadrunner by The Modern Lovers—a clever nod to their influences. The haunting "Half Real" and the driving urgency of "Mysterious Love" were crowd favorites, while the rollicking "3D Country" had fans moving in unison.

They closed with "Tomorrow's Crusades," leaving the audience in awe of their dynamic energy and powerful delivery.
