After playing Bonnaroo on Friday, Against Me! brought their tour to NYC for a free afternoon show in McCarren Park, part of Brooklyn’s Northside Festival. It was a great bill all around, with Brooklyn’s Mitski and Philly’s Cayetana opening the show. Both Mitski and Cayetana did similar sets to other recent NYC shows (mostly off their respective 2014 albums), and they both sounded excellent as always. Mitski had a new backing band with her this time (and at her Saint Vitus show a night earlier), and they sounded great, including the addition of electronic drum pads during “I Don’t Smoke.” Mitski has two more upcoming NYC shows on her tour with Elvis Depressedly and Eskimeaux.

Against Me! wrapped up the show, taking the stage at the early, sunny, and very hot hour of 5:30 PM or so. The crowd really packed in for them, and they sounded fantastic as ever. We got plenty off last year’s Transgender Dysphoria Blues, plus a handful of others from throughout their career like “Sink, Florida Sink,” “I Was a Teenage Anarchist,” “Pints of Guinness Make You Strong” and more. They also opened the encore with their cover of The Replacements’ “Androgynous.” A short video clip of that is here. Against Me!’s full setlist, and more pictures from the McCarren Park show, below.

AM! also just announced a live album, 23 Live Sex Acts, which is due September 4 via Total Treble/Ingrooves. Check out the tracklist, a stream of “True Trans Soul Rebel” from the album, and the artwork (which may not be safe for certain work environments), below.
